Celebrity Bartender in Springfield
July 10, 2018 by ·
We had a record setting Celebrity Bartender season. Last month we held two Celebrity Bartender events, one in Peoria and one in Springfield. In competitive spirit, the Springfield Battle of the Gyms took the challenge to raise more than Peoria’s $2,324 in tips, and succeeded.
Springfield’s Celebrity Bartender event was held on June 21, 2018 at Brickhouse Grill and Pub. Six gyms swapped out the weights for beer glasses and competed head to head to be named hourly winner and overall champion. The overall champion for the evening was RinoWorx Fitness with $1,000 total in tips. We were wowed by the support of everyone who participated and donated that evening with a total of $3,754 going to scholarships. Thank you so much to everyone who supported the gyms, the bartenders and GOTR! 
See photos from the event on our Facebook page.

Celebrity Bartender in Peoria raised $2,324 for GOTR scholarships!
June 15, 2018 by ·
We had our first Celebrity Bartender event in Peoria on June 7th at Bearded Owl Brewing. Each hour, two gyms competed against each other to see who would come out the winner. Of the six gyms that competed, Tony Schoedel from CrossFit Peoria was victorious and the overall winner with $883 in tips! Thanks to our wonderful bartenders and their supporters for donating $2,324 which is enough to fund an entire GOTR team!
We would also like to present an Energy Award to Arron McCall at CrossFit North Peoria. Arron received the second highest amount with $838 in tips. However, he was so close to reaching $1,000 that CrossFit North Peoria donated another $162 to GOTR! Arron also challenged himself and his gym to complete one burpee for every dollar he received in tips.
Pictures from the event can be seen on our Facebook page.
