And the 6th Annual CCMG Winner Is… Canton Police Department

We’re proud to announce that the Canton Police Department has been selected as the 2025 recipient of the Chris Conti Memorial Grant.

Now in its sixth year, the CCMG honors the legacy of Chris Conti by supporting organizations that promote wellness, community, and service. This year’s winner reflects all of those values.

With the grant, the Canton PD will receive new fitness equipment to enhance their department’s wellness space — helping officers stay strong, healthy, and ready to serve. It’s a small way to give back to those who give so much.

Chris believed in the power of fitness to build resilience and connection, and we know he’d be proud to see the impact this grant continues to make.

We’ll be celebrating this milestone with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the beginning of November — and we’d love for you to join us. Stay tuned for the official date and details.

Congratulations to the Canton Police Department — we’re excited to partner with you.

The Chris Conti Memorial Grant (CCMG), established by Innovative Fitness in 2020, honors co-founder Chris Conti—who passed away in March 2019—by carrying forward his generous spirit of community service Cobb Foundation. Each year on July 30, the company awards a fully outfitted fitness center, including consultation, design, delivery, and installation, to a deserving public high school, nonprofit, first responder facility, or public safety organization in Georgia. Organizations apply by submitting a short video describing how the grant will foster healthier communities and demonstrating their existing fitness space. Past recipients—including Goshen Valley Boys Ranch (2020), Chatsworth Police & Fire (2021), Floyd County PD (2022), Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health (2023), and Northeast High School (2024)—have used the support to enhance wellness programs, emotional health initiatives, and staff fitness amenities . Guided by the company’s motto, “See a need, fill a need,” CCMG continues Chris’s legacy of tangible compassion and transformative community impact.
