HAVE FUN & MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
OUR 4% PLEDGE.
We are dedicated to supporting athletes, community initiatives, and non-profit organizations through fitness and education. As part of this goal, we pledge to give 4% back from all 4 STAR ENDURANCE training programs and services to local charity partners and organizations every year – and we encourage you to DONATE a small percentage of what you can to INSPIRE others to do the same!
You can join us in having fun, supporting our partner organizations, and make a difference in your lifestyle and community by giving back and volunteering with us through our charity partners.
