This contest is a Memorial Contest for my sister Charlotte Giza who died on February 11, 2015 after a 3 1/2 year battle with colon cancer. She was my inspiration and my other half. She was also as strong as she was beautiful. This contest is for her and for ALL the strong women out there.
The contest will take place on Sunday, September 12, 2021 at Fivex3 Training, 4015 Foster Avenue, Suite 200, Baltimore, MD 21224.

FUNDRAISING PAGES FOR RAISING MO’ MONEY
We will also have a Fundraising Page to help raise money for the organization. We will begin fundraising in July. All proceeds from the Charm City Strongwoman Contest benefit the Ulman Foundation, who create a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer.
All profit will benefit the Ulman Foundation for prevention and research. We are raising money specifically for the Ulman House, a home away from home for cancer patients and their families. We will also be doing a Charm City Strongwoman Raffle to help benefit Ulman. 😉
