WORLD PULL-UP DAY (WPD) is a global sports and charity event In 5 years WPD aims to become the largest global event of this kind
On WPD people gather in designated places – Pull-Up Points (PUPs) – to do pull-ups and donate money and goods to others in need. Locations of the PUPs cover the whole world
!
First WPD was held on 14 September 2014.* It was the first event of this kind organized on international level. Regardless of the weather conditions and difference in time and distance people all over the world were united for the common goal – doing pull-ups for a good cause
Complete information about the event, incl. application rules and forms, registered PUPs, galleries, results and rank of all countries, is available at www.worldpullupday.com * The idea of WPD comes from Latvia where similar event was organized in 2012 and 2013 on a national level

WPD CHARITY PATRONAGES Our purpose is to unite people by activity (pull-ups) and to raise money for charity or to do certain good act. Therefore local organizers of the WPD PUPs are encouraged to engage supporters and partners (patrons) for their PUPs. 2 main options for charity patronages: 1) PUP organizer finds a patron – partner company / organisation which makes a donation* to the specified charitable purpose ! 2) PUP organizer agrees with local charity organisation to bring its representatives to the PUP to collect voluntary donations from its participants and visitors !
* donation = a certain amount of money or goods for each pull-up made at the PUP, or, alternatively, a lump sum donation if certain amount of pull-ups is reached at the PUP
Organizers of PUPs are allowed to raise donations for their own specified purposes (related to street workout), such as building of new street workout park or purchase of new sports equipment. In that case they are obliged to strictly undertake responsibility for the fair collection and use of the donations. !
WSWCF is currently open for global Charity Patronages for the whole WPD event

WPD COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIPS Partnerships of a purely commercial nature are possible at WPD !
Commercial partners – local companies or organisations – provide to the participants of the PUP discount coupons for purchase of their products, or provide complementary goods or services, or product bundles !
Depending on the particular partnership, the amount of discount provided may or may not be linked to the amount of pull-ups made by the participant
