How is my donation used, and how much goes to programs?

Your donations fund the creation of new sports clinics for our athletes, job training and paid employment in the gym for individuals with disabilities, adaptive fitness equipment and gym expansion to support more of our community, and social event activities for athletes, family members and caregivers. 80% of all donation money goes directly to programs.

When you donate, select “in honor of” or “in memory of” and enter the person’s name. If you’d like us to tell the honoree or their family about your gift, select ‘notify someone by email’ and include their email address and a message.
