Chalk It Forward is the support and giving arm. It's for the lifter stepping onto a platform for the first time, and just as much for the lifter who has competed for years but is going through a layoff, a divorce, a medical bill, a move, or any other stretch of life that has made competing feel out of reach. It exists so financial barriers, whenever they show up in someone's life, never keep a lifter from competing and having confidence while doing so.
