Athletes can choose to bench press in one of five categories for as many reps as possible over 60 seconds in the varsity weight during activity period. Each individual who achieves the most reps in their respective gender and weight class category will be crowned the inaugural Bench Press for Breast Cancer champion.

After the competition, the money raised will be used to promote breast cancer awareness and go towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the U.S. The BCRF is a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. It provides critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship.
