set this all up. You guys
are just busy, aren't check tell us

8
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.079
about it. We like to do
things for the community, so we do

9
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:42.520
across at Bartlesville a dry athlon fundraiser
each year and just a different nonprofit foundation

10
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.880
organization from the community to benefit from
any of the donations that we received.

11
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.679
So this year we have Project Tribute
Foundation. We're thrilled to partner up with

12
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.320
them. Well, I'll tell you
what. With the Project A Tribute,

13
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.399
we got John Beckloff here and John, you've been kind of busy, kind

14
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.439
of you make a lot of miles. Yeah, yeah, I just this

15
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.359
week delivered to a couple different sorry, so that's ture you go. Um,

16
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.840
delivered to a couple of different towns
and then tomorrow go into Blaine County,

17
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.599
which will hit Blaine O'Keene with Tonga
several others. Um so yeah,

18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.239
what we do is that we just
go fundraise for anything that can save a

19
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.879
life, and our focus is rule
first responders. Yeah. So, and

20
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.159
one hundred percent of donations go right
out to to the purchase of the gear

21
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.599
that they've requested from us. So
like the funds the cross Fit teams raising

22
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.760
is just going to completing the requested
items. Show some of the things you

23
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.000
got here. You first of all, you got a kid here. Yeah.

24
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.599
Yeah. So Refuge Medical out of
Spiral, Oklahoma. It's so it's

25
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.959
an Oklahoma company. Um, this
is primarily what first responders that are asking

26
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.680
for. It's an individual first aid
kids. So it's got the tourniquet,

27
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.159
gloves, all the stuff for like
if you had a bad car wreck or

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.200
a gunshot or something where you're bleeding
out. Um this this has everything within

29
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.959
it and it so our our cost
is much lower than what the agencies can

30
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.439
go get. So that's a discount
that Refuge Medical provides to us. But

31
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.799
from just these kits alone, we've
saved nine lives and we've put about one

32
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.599
hundred and eighty thousand dollars of tourniquets
or kits out in the field at first

33
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.080
responders because a lot of them,
especially volunteer firefighters, they're arriving in their

34
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.560
private vehicle from their job or whatever
work site. So if you've got a

35
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.919
big blood loss, you can die
in five minutes. Well, the average

36
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.919
response time in Oklahoma for EMS is
eleven So if the firefighter, police officer,

37
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.400
somebody has one of these in their
car, now they can buy you

38
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.039
hours of time in time for the
ambulance to actually arrive on scene. So

39
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.199
that's where the nine lives have been
saved, is just somebody showing up on

40
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.680
scene that had a kit from us
and allowed that time for the secondary services

41
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.759
to get there. Now, John, with CrossFit, you guys do a

42
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.159
lot of great things for individuals each
and every day, getting fit and everything.

43
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:52.560
But you're also a great community partner
there because you're helping out great organizations

44
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:53.919
like Project Tribute. Yeah. Sure, and every year we do somebody,

45
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:59.800
you know, we work with a
different organization, And I didn't know anything

46
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:05.479
about Project Tribute until maybe a month
ago, But what a what a wonderful

47
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.360
organization. It is just hearing some
of the stories before we came on air,

48
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.120
and and the things that they're doing, and we're just I'm I'm really

49
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.560
excited about the partnership that we've got
being able to raise money and continue to

50
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.240
raise awareness for them ongoing well.
And and Kristen, we've got this a

51
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.639
dry at the lawn. Okay,
I'm not the smartest guy, but something

52
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:36.560
tells me that you're not going to
stay all that dry too long. Yeah,

53
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.879
it might be hot, you might
sweat, but there's no swimming.

54
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.919
No, it's okay, dragons,
but yeah, because I swim like a

55
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:50.039
rock. Um it will be at
Crossfitt Bartlesville. All the equipment will be

56
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.439
provided by Crossfitt Bartlesville, so you
don't you know, people don't need to

57
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.800
bring anything with them to show up. Um, it'll be a five mile

58
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.719
row stationary row, and then seven
mile run and then a ten mile bike

59
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.000
stationary bike. And you can partner
up with you could have a team of

60
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.439
two people all the way up to
a team of ten people. So it's

61
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.479
not something that you're you're launching into
by yourself. So, UM, if

62
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.160
you just want to come out and
have a good time, let it be

63
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.560
kind of a social workout. Then
you just share that work anyway you want,

64
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.720
so it can be a kind of
a conversational pace. This isn't you

65
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.959
by yourself doing all this work unless
you want to tell. But you see

66
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.319
you're talking about teams. I'm really
good at pointing to people where the equipment

67
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.800
is. Yeah, yeah, if
they do the coaching, can tell you

68
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:43.759
the cheerleader want to fetch the water, you know. Um, if anybody

69
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.079
wants to, you know, just
come and see what crossfits about. Or

70
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.000
he just wants to donate to a
good cause that they don't necessarily want to

71
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.120
participate, that's fine too. Um
we do you know, we have a

72
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.959
recommendation of twenty dollars U as a
donation, but you know, anything is

73
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.839
appreciated. And um, I would
love to see anybody and everybody from the

74
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:12.920
community right where you located were.
The gym is directly behind the Hampton in

75
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.720
on Highway seventy five. Easy to
find, easy to find. Wow,

76
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.639

you been here for four I thought you

78
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.120
were. Yeah. Yeah, if
you want to come and spectate that that'd

79
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.000
be great too. Like if you
don't not interested in doing the actual work,

80
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.480
and we just gonna take a little
one to hang out. I can

81
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.279

out, bring a cup of coffee,

82
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.720
and just to enjoy it and cheer
people on. So yeah, any kind

83
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.120
of donation would be appreciated. I
would, you know, limit your donation

84
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.199
to ten thousand dollars. Okay,
yeah, we gotta have leverage. Okay.

85
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.279
Now you know I'm a very former
baseball player, right I say former,

86
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.720
I mean former. So John,
would you be there, like,

87
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.920
you know if I had an ax
in or something like that. Yeah,

88
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.600
yeah, Dad, I'm gonna be
in the spect here both just okay,

89
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.160
okay, tell us a little bit
more about prodrit Crewe. How did you

90
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:09.879
get started. Yeah, so you've
see the jeep around town, the jeep

91
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.879
the Tribute Chief's where I started in. On the back windows is the names

92
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.680
of all the prior years in the
line of duty debts, so first responders

93
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.680
in police, military, fire ems, and canine. So I put the

94
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.480
names on the back two windows.
So if you ever see the gene to

95
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.240
go check it out. If they're
in ok the state of Oklahoma is behind

96
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.279
their name, and so folks would
say Hey, how do I donate to

97
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.319
this? And I figured out a
way, but I wanted to do it

98
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.160
in a way that was transparent and
honorable. You can even go on our

99
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.240
website and there's a transparency page right
there where all of our finances are there

100
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.800
for the public. But the biggest
thing to me was that I had a

101
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.759
family member get hurt in the line
of duty because they didn't have the right

102
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.879
gear because they couldn't afford it.
So then it was well, let me

103
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.279
take this request of how do I
help and make it a true cause,

104
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.360
And so that's where we started.
Kristen, you're very good bringing people together.

105
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.639
She need this a lot of different
situations. It's what you do,

106
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.480
you know. It's it's kind of
like magic here. You got to watch

107
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.639
you guys, because the next thing
you know, you're gonna be partnering up

108
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.439
with everybody. But it's kind of
fun to do this and see really nice

109
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.000
results, isn't it. Yes,
Yeah, for sure. This community is

110
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.199
amazing and when you can partner up
together, it just brings such a larger

111
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.800
span of awareness and um, you
know, you can help brought he amount

112
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.759
of people so and also Brian with
the CrossFit here You never know who's going

113
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.639
to come in that door, as
they say, and your next person of

114
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.240
interest or next customer, matter of
fact. So it's kind of need to

115
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.439
always make sure that that you're welcome
and you tell everybody that you're helping out

116
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.920
other folks too. Doesn't know.
Absolutely, we love that. You know,

117
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.079
it's a big part of just being
a part of a community is to

118
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.000
give back, find people that that
can benefit from what you're doing, raising

119
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.519
awareness and um, you know,
this is a big part of what we

120
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.600
do. We love this and so
we're excited about this, this partnership and

121
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.600
look forward to raising a lot of
money. You know, what we're really

122
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.879
looking for is people that are charitable, they want to give, they're looking

123
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:16.319
for opportunities to give, and that
like to work out and do that in

124
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.319
a social way. And that's kind
of what CrossFit is. That's kind of

125
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.800
healthy all the way around. Healthy
for the heart, healthy for the body,

126
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.519
health for the soul. Absolutely,
you're hitting on all the Yeah,

127
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.120
it can't be happy unless you're giving. You gotta be giving. So we

128
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:35.000
want to create opportunities for people to
give and then let them step into that

129
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.240
space. So here we go.
