Centennial Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide

Today, April 24th, marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This terrible mark in history took place between 1915 and 1918, and resulted in the unnecessary deaths of nearly 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children. Southern California is melting pot of people from all over the world, and many Armenians have moved to the greater Los Angeles area to seek a better life based on core American tenets that assert every person is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Armenian American community has worked hard to not only document their history, but to also become leaders in business, politics, art and sports. Out of respect for the innocent lives that were lost, CrossFit 818 will be closed today. Regularly scheduled classes will resume on Saturday, April 25, at 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM, followed by Wreck Shop at 10:30.
