F3 Accelerate Campaign Wraps Up – October 31
Any amount counts, so give before the campaign closes.
Achilles Estavillo (SideOut/JabJab/Scorpion King)
Brothers,
Two weeks in, and we’ve already surpassed our Accelerate $ goal! THANK YOU!
But this is more than dollars. It’s about how many lives changed, the friendships forged, the brothers who showed up when we needed them, and the men and families positively impacted by F3 Princeton.
Every contribution is a reminder that this mission matters and that we are making a difference together.
We’re not done yet! We have until October 31 to BE ALL IN and show F3 Nation just how far our impact reaches. Please consider giving any amount as a way to pay it forward and help reach more men who need F3.
Any amount. One mission.
Thank you for being part of something bigger than ourselves.
Peace

Hey F3llas!
Achilles Estavillo (SideOut/JabJab/Scorpion King)
I know some PAX, including Sunny The Machine Sehgal, are registered to run the HiTops Princeton Half Marathon on November 8, 2026.
If you’re not running but would like to be part of the event, I received an email with volunteer opportunities. This is a great chance for F3 Princeton to show up, serve, and give back to the Princeton community.
It’s about SERVING beyond the gloom and making a positive impact beyond our workouts – making a difference.
Check out the link below and see where you can lend a hand.
Peace.
