Pushups for Charity is a 90 second pushup challenge to be held on May 18, 2013.

In 2012, Pushups for Charity raised $300,000 for the Boot Campaign, allowing the nonprofit to provide assistance such as mortgage-free housing and PTSD counseling to our nation's wounded defenders.
A highlight of this year's Pushups for Charity is wounded veteran athletes from CrossFit Walter Reed participating in Pushups for Charity events throughout the country. An exclusive Pushups for Charity event for current CrossFit Walter Reed athletes will be held May 11th on the National Mall in Washington D.C.
