The Bob Hoffman Sports and Fitness Fund

The BH Foundation was founded in 1962 by Robert C. Hoffman, the founder and then president of York Barbell Company, Inc. During his lifetime, Bob Hoffman championed the causes of healthful living, nutrition, and physical fitness. Through his involvement as the president of York Barbell Company, Mr. Hoffman promoted the sport of weightlifting, both nationally and internationally, as the pathway to a healthy and physically fit lifestyle. Upon his death in 1985, the terms of Mr. Hoffman’s Last Will and Testament provided funding for the BH Foundation to make charitable awards and contributions for “the promotion of public health and physical fitness through education, nutrition, exercise and athletic competition.” YCCF will administer the Bob Hoffman Sports and Fitness Fund, continuing Mr. Hoffman’s legacy.
