This contest is a Memorial Contest for my sister Charlotte Giza who died on February 11, 2015 after 3 1/2 years of living with colon cancer. She was my inspiration and my other half. This contest is for her and for ALL the strong women out there.
This contest is also dedicated to our Fivex3 member, Jan Avengine, who died on February 2, 2022 from mouth cancer. She was a volunteer at our contest from 2013 – 2019, a force of nature with a heart of gold.
The contest will take place on Sunday, June, 12, 2022 at Fivex3 Training, 4015 Foster Avenue, Suite 200, Baltimore, MD 21224.

FUNDRAISING PAGES FOR RAISING MO’ MONEY
We will also have a Fundraising Page to help raise money for the organization. We will begin fundraising in . All proceeds from the Charm City Strongwoman Contest benefit the Ulman Foundation, who create a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer.
All profit will benefit the Ulman Foundation for prevention and research. We are raising money specifically for the Ulman House, a home away from home for cancer patients and their families. We will also be doing a Charm City Strongwoman Raffle to help benefit Ulman. 😉
Will you consider having two weight divisions and in the masters level this year?
I didn’t pick that meanie face emoji above.
I would love a split masters division! I can’t make it to this years event but that would definitely be a draw for the future 🙂

No tacky is allowed for any of the carry event.
