211OC LiftUp Challenge

Lift Yourself. Lift Your Community.

The 211OC LiftUp Challenge is your opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people across Orange County.

Every plank you hold, every dollar you give, and every friend you inspire helps connect individuals and families to the essential support they need during life’s most challenging moments.

Whether you choose to plank, donate, or become a Powerlifter by doing both, you’re helping lift up our community, making it stronger, healthier, and more connected.

When you step up to the challenge, you’re not just raising awareness. You’re helping ensure that when someone reaches out for help, someone is there to answer.

Are you ready to lift up Orange County?

Challenge accepted! 💪

I’m taking the #211OCLiftUpChallenge and working toward a 2-minute, 11-second plank by 2/11 Day because I believe strong communities are built when we lift each other up.

But the plank isn’t the only way to participate. You can also lift up our community with a $21.10 gift. Every donation helps connect our neighbors with critical resources and support when they need it most.

And if you want to go all in, do both and become a 211 Powerlifter!

Now I’m challenging @Name1, @Name2 and @Name3 to take the #211OCLiftUpChallenge and tell us why you lift up our community.

Plank. Give $21.10. Become a Powerlifter.
