A Battle of the Gyms event to help veterans will be held from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at ChicagoFitLife, 541 Northgate Parkway, Wheeling. The powerlifting competition was created to help military service members and veterans in their job search and job training, while providing a way for area gyms to compete for prizes and bragging rights. All proceeds go to support military service members, veterans and families with immediate employment placement services and community resources. The event is free for veterans, and their families are free to attend; parking is also free. Sponsors include Sam's Club, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Mount Prospect, Chicago Sky, New Found Power, Be Fit Meals and others. For information, contact Rob Malnik at (773) 414-5888 from Support All Veterans Equally, or David Buchanan at (847) 243-4168 from ChicagoFitLife.
