JOIN OUR ELEXSON'S CLUB

Elexson Hercules was a founding member of InnerCity Weightlifting.

In 2012, Elexson was lost to the violence he had so desperately tried to get away from.

 

We are remembering and honoring his efforts through the creation of Elexson's Club: a group of individuals who support the mission and work of ICW by making a $1,000+ annual donation.

Sustained revenue can support more training certifications, additional capacity for case management, or increased financial support given to students through our hardship fund - direct support for emergencies such as utility bills, or the cost of safe transportation.
