TRANSCEND Campaign Overview:

Drop Deadlift Gorgeous will once again be raising funds for the PFund TRANSCEND Campaign.

In 2024, $300,000 was awarded to 33 trans+ serving organizations in the mid-west.  Over $100,000 of those funds were raised by Drop Deadlift Gorgeous.

The TRANSCEND Campaign is raising funds for distribution to partners across the region doing on-the-ground work to protect and assist trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive youth and adults.
