History

OTFJax's first charity efforts were always about connecting the community with local charities and giving local charities a platform to get their message to a broader audience.  Most initial efforts were through workout events dubbed "Charity Burns."  To date, OTFJax has supported over 100 Charity Burns for various local charities in the Jacksonville area.  The accomplishments of OTFJax listed below continued to feed the dream of a fully recognized nonprofit to accomplish the same.

• Our first partnership was a membership drive, where for each new membership purchased we made a donation on behalf of that new member.
• Our first 5K featured 5 local charities, again connecting small local charities with people who could carry their message to others.  
• Our first event was a gala which gave hope to a local woman with ALS and raised money for a national organization fighting ALS.
• Our first disaster efforts allowed us to connect OTFJax members who had severe hurricane damage with other members who had equipment and/or people to help.
