5,311 Burpees for a Cause: STAR Community Raises Over 53 Million to Rebuild Lives After Typhoon Yagi

At STAR Kickboxing and Fitness, we are proud to share how our community came together to support the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation’s Yagi Emergency Appeal. Between September 16th and 22nd, our coaches took on the challenge of completing a total of 5,311 burpees, representing the 53,110,000 VND that we raised through the "Buy a Burpee" campaign. Although we didn’t quite reach our initial fundraising target, the funds raised will go a long way in helping some of the poorest families in rural Northern Vietnam and Hanoi rebuild their homes after the devastating impact of Typhoon Yagi.


Buy a burpee for Typhoon Yagi

This initiative reflects the deep sense of responsibility and care our STAR members have for the wider community, as we came together to help provide essential support during a critical time. Whether it was through donations or simply cheering on the coaches during those exhausting burpees, every effort mattered in making a real difference for families in need.


Supporting the Blue Dragon Children's Foundation means directly aiding those who have been severely affected by the storm. The money raised will help these families rebuild homes, provide food, and offer much-needed resources as they recover from this natural disaster.


Thank you to everyone who took part, whether you contributed financially or supported us in other ways. Together, we continue to show that fitness goes beyond the gym—it's about building stronger communities as well.
