Please arrive by 6:30am to help set up and enjoy some time with the PAX who are arriving from other regions. The event will end at 9:30am at the earliest.
***Attention PAX: in the interest of time, # of men available, spreading the word and planning, we made the call to have the 6 Year F3 Princeton Anniversary on May 10th, 2025. I hope you ALL can make it. That being said, these events take a lot to plan. Looking for some H.I.M. to step up and help with the planning which will include a beatdown, breakfast and service event. Message me or anyone on the SLT if you would like to be part of the planning for this EPIC event! (edited)

My F3 Brothers! Just another gentle reminder to please make a donation for our 6th year anniversary coming up on Sat., May 10th. You all know it’s for an outstanding cause – hygiene kits for people in need for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK).
If you’ve donated already – THANK YOU
Machine!! If you haven’t yet, there is still time – we’re only asking for a min. of $20 (but as we all know – Sat., May 10th will be here before we all know it)! I’ve attached the QR code to Sunny’s Venmo account (Sunny – thank you for collecting the funds!!). As well, please consider volunteering for our F6 anniversary event – LET’S SHOW UP & SHOW OUT FOR THE RISING!!!
Thank you to @Bharat Amin (Magellan) and the rest of the 35 PAX who generously donated!! You all just lived our 3rd F which is faith and giving back. Also thanks to @Sunny The Machine Sehgal for being our Motivated Fundraiser! We will still continue to collect donations and will decide who and where to direct the extra funds we raised, together. Goal is 100% participation. Thank you all for valuing what we have built here AND giving back to the community. Most importantly, please come on May 10th to the F3 Princeton 6 Year Manniversary! If you have not been to a workout in a while, it is a great time to start back again and celebrate!
