Building great futures for every kid takes all of us.
Play your part and join us as we build a new gym.
“I’m excited for the gym because I want to play football and use the punching bag!”
This is not just a gym. It’s a safe space for kids like Wrangler to explore, to learn, and to express who they are.
Wrangler often expresses his feelings physically which can sometimes be disruptive for other members. We encourage Wrangler to express those emotions safely by playing soccer in the back hallway. The Gym will provide more opportunities for kids like Wrangler who need a safe place to communicate their feelings.
See the Progress
It’s not just a gym. It’s a safe space for kids to be exactly who they are.
It’s more than a gym.
A gym is just the beginning. The Club will also expand by adding a concession stand, locker rooms, Planet Fitness Room, and classroom.
It’s a safe space for all kids.
This is not just a space for Club kids. Community members will be invited to use the space for birthday party rentals, rec league activities, fitness classes, and more.
A reminder that help is found right here.
The successful completion of this project means that more community members are aware of the work we do, why it matters, and how they can benefit from the programs and services we offer.
Great things take time.
While we wish the gym was open right now, full of kids playing their hearts out and burning off that quarantine energy, we know that great things take time. We’ve been hard at work since 2019 when we were awarded a $500,000 grant and real progress has already been made. From renderings to help us envision the final product to generous grants to provide early funding, we’re on our way to making this project a reality.
Our ideal completion date is Labor Day and meeting that goal will require the help of our entire community.
