All proceeds from online sales will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation in three states: Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana

LONDON, OHIO (May 4, 2010)—Dave Tate, founder of
Elite Fitness Systems and internationally renowned strength specialist, who authored “ Raising the Bar” in 2009, announced he has re-issued the book in an electronic format with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish® Foundation of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana and Central Ohio Region.

“Raising the Bar” can be found at: http://articles.elitefts.com/articles/columns/help-make-dreams-come-true/

Tate says, “The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions — progressive, degenerative or malignant conditions — that have placed their health in jeopardy. They may want to be a fireman for a day, visit a theme park or meet someone like an athlete or a movie star. I know that we can help bring smiles to some of these amazingly brave youngsters, their families and the entire community through the proceeds of the e-book.”

In “Raising the Bar,” Tate relays the personal experiences that led him to question the conventional logic that presupposes what people should expect out of life and themselves. Instead, he finds his own solutions to life’s challenges. A leader and innovator in the powerlifting and strength training community, Tate understands how examples of personal athletic achievement can be transferred to all areas of life.

Tate says, “As I mature, I seem to constantly ask myself two questions: Did specific moments make an impact on my life? And, how does the time I spend with others make an impact on their lives? Over the years, I have come to realize that it is not just the “big events” that define us, but rather a collection of all the moments that we encounter — no matter how big or seemingly small. Please consider the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the children who haven’t yet had the opportunity and benefit to experience as many “moments” as the rest of us. Helping make these dreams come true creates a “defining” experience they will truly treasure throughout their lives.”

Tate has been involved with powerlifting for about 30 years as a world-class competitor, coach and consultant. He has written countless articles on strength training for magazines and the Internet, and has authored several books, e-books and training manuals, including his phenomenally successful self-help debut, “Under the Bar.” As a business adviser, motivational speaker and author, his mission is to show how athletic disciplines teach valuable lessons leading to outstanding achievement and enrichment in all areas of life. “Raising the Bar” is Tate’s second book.
