LAVA Annual Handstand-A-Thon

Stephanie Carlin, Neighbor

Get pledges for each second that we as a community spend with our feet off the floor. Then join us at the Handstand-a-Thon on May 15 for tacos, root beer, costumes, and lots of handstands! 

According to LAVA's website, "The event is a fund-raiser for the LAVA Studio scholarship fund as well as LAVA's community programming. Handstand experts as well as first-timers young and old are invited to come to Prospect Heights, Brooklyn to log seconds and minutes standing on their hands. Handstanders can use the wall, a spotter, or several spotters to stay upright with their toes in the air. All handstanders total time spent upside down will be added to a collective handstand pool. The goal for total time with feet raised is 15,000 seconds; the goal for the total funds raised is $23,000."
