MY GYM Children's Fitness Center

MY GYM CHALLENGED AMERICA Foundation

OUR MISSION

To improve the lives of children with special needs and those who are abused, neglected, underprivileged or physically challenged by helping them acquire the skills, confidence and positive self-image needed to become healthy, content, contributing members of society

The mission of MGCA is to positively impact the lives of our challenged youth by helping them develop the skills, confidence and positive self-image needed to reach their maximum potential. Each month, MGCA provides equipment, services and My Gym scholarships to children whose needs are consistent with the mission of our organization. The gift of Scholarships presented by the Foundation go further than the improved quality of life they create. The support and encouragement inspire children and families to overcome their obstacles and celebrate their many triumphs. Since it's inception, MGCA has been privileged to help countless youngsters nationwide.

HOW WE HELP

Equipment and Services:
Challenged America provides assistive devices and therapeutic services to children who are dealing with physical or cognitive challenges. Providing needed adaptive equipment and access to vital services helps children with special needs function with greater success and confidence in the mainstream environment.

Scholarship Program:
Challenged America awards My Gym Children's Fitness Center scholarships to children/families in need of financial assistance. MGCA and My Gym believe that no child should be denied the opportunity to build the physical skills and develop the positive self-image and social adeptness critical for his/her growth and development. Participation in the My Gym program gives children the tools they need to succeed.
