Winalski Consulting is excited to sponsor an upcoming event in Portland on July 12, 2025! Deadlifts “Pool” Party (or Deadlift Pull Party) for Pride at Eastside Kettlebell Collective for Pride, with donations going to Sexual & Gender Minority Youth Resource Center.
About SMYRC: Since 1998, SMYRC has fostered a safe, harassment-free space for LGBTQIA2S+ youth ages 13-24. We support youth by providing basic resources like food, clothing, hygiene supplies, safer sex supplied and gender affirming garments, as well as free community events, field trips, affinity groups and counseling. Whatever you are looking for, we are here to help honor, empower and support you.
Eastside Kettlebell Collective exists to center, celebrate, and defend the strength, wellness, and autonomy of shes, theys, and gays. This is a space built by and for those whose bodies, identities, and power have too often been policed, ignored, or erased in fitness culture. If these terms do not apply to you, understand whose space you are entering. Show up with humility, respect, and a commitment to collective care — because safety and liberation in movement spaces isn’t negotiable here.
