Ortholift 2008- Show your Support!
The second annual ORTHOLIFT has been scheduled for May 18th. This year’s event will be held at 10 AM in the student cafeteria of NYU School of Medicine.
ORTHOLIFT is a fundraiser to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) of Manhattan. Last year orthopaedic residents raised over $15,000.00!
ORTHOLIFT is a weight-lifting competition that consists of three events:
Pullups
Dips
Benchpress
The strongest pound for pound competitor will be determined using the Schwartz-Malone formula. The formula adjusts for gender and body weight.
Trophies will be awarded to the winners of each event and prizes will be handed out to the individuals who raise the most money for MDA. Participants will use MOOLA, MDA’s online fundraising tool.

MOOLA easily allows participants to ask friends, family and colleagues for donations via the Internet and e-mail so they are able to take part in the weight-lifting competition. The individual goal for each participant is $500.
All ORTHO-LIFT dollars benefit the MDA Summer Camp in Spring Valley, NY. MDA provides disabled local children the opportunity to attend a free summer camp. The facility offers a wide range of activities including swimming, arts and crafts, and a talent show.
