Yolo County's District Attorney Jeff Reisig along with some of the county's law enforcement officers will pump iron in a weight-lifting competition to help the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Center.
The third annual My Strength Bench Press Competition will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Davis Athletic Club, 1809 Picasso Ave., according to a news release.
The competition is open to the public, both as competitors and spectators. All proceeds from the event will go to the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Center.
Also appearing at the event will be Mike Hara, an international heavy lifting champion. Hara will give a lifting demonstration.
The competition features a variety of classes and divisions by ages - 15 years and older - gender and weight ranges. Registration is $25 for adults, $10 for those under 18 (parental consent also is required for the latter).
All proceeds from the event will go to the center. The center educates more than 3,000 youth in schools throughout Yolo County each year about sexual assault and healthy vs. unhealthy behaviors and relationships, according to the release.
Space is limited for the competition. For more information, contact Adrienne Monroe, the center's executive director at (530) 661-6336 or Adrienne.Monroe@sadvc.org
