My Gym Foundation is marking #GivingTuesdayKids with a fundraiser at participating My Gym locations around the United States and Canada. Each My Gym location taking part will ‘adopt a child’ and will raise funds for that particular child. The money raised will purchase life-changing medical equipment or an assistive device for the child each gym sponsors.
My Gym Foundation is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization of My Gym Children’s Fitness Center. All donations are tax deductible.
A day devoted to “giving back” during the holiday season, #GivingTuesdayKids takes place this year on Tuesday, December 3. On this day, individuals, families and businesses contribute to a charity of their choice. For #GivingTuesdayKids 2019, My Gym Foundation (MGF) has set a goal of raising enough funds to purchase forty items.
“Gifts sponsored by My Gym Foundation range from wheelchairs and feeding tubes to sensory items. There are even gifts such as a special swing that allows a child to play alongside friends and siblings for the first time,” says Randy J. Bertisch, founder of My Gym Foundation who, himself, is physically challenged. “It’s hard for some to understand just how much of a change you can make in the life of a child with a disability by providing a means for them to participate in an activity they couldn’t before.”
Donations can be made at www.MyGymFoundation.org, or at a participating My Gym Children’s Fitness Center location, at any time leading up to and including Tuesday, December 3.
