The 11th Annual Charm City Strongwoman Contest

This contest is a Memorial Contest for my sister Charlotte Giza who died on February 11, 2015 after 3 1/2 years of living with colon cancer. She was my inspiration and my other half. This contest is for her and for ALL the strong women out there.

This contest is also dedicated to our Fivex3 member, Jan Avengine, who died on February 2, 2022 from mouth cancer. She was a volunteer at our contest from 2013 – 2019, a force of nature with a heart of gold.

The contest will take place on Sunday, June, 12, 2022 at Fivex3 Training, 4015 Foster Avenue, Suite 200, Baltimore, MD 21224.
