Scott Fike shares the inspiring story behind the Love Like Ben Foundation and its annual strongman charity event honoring his son's memory while raising funds to help children afford sports participation. What began as a heartfelt tribute has grown into a thriving community event raising over $17,000 this year to provide equipment, memberships, and tuition assistance to young athletes in need.

• Detailed recap of the four main competition events: Circus Dumbbell, Sandbag Over Bar, Seated Arm Over Arm Sled Pull, and Hummer Tire Deadlift
• The event's accessible approach allowing athletes across nine divisions to participate
• Incredible community support from sponsors like Serious Steel Fitness and Valkyrie Strength
• Beautiful custom metal awards created by Wicked Welding and Fabrication
• Pain Face Photography's professional documentation of the event
