Pieces of the Puzzle
- Requests are reviewed on a monthly basis.
- Individuals must specify the exact items needed and where they can be purchased. Because of the overwhelming number of requests received, the foundation is unable to research and select items for the applicant.
- Gift allocations from the My Gym Foundation are determined by an Appropriations Committee and are based on greatest need, whom the foundation can best assist, funds available, and the long-term impact on the child’s quality of life.
- The policy of the My Gym Foundation is to directly purchase all equipment and services. My Gym does not offer monetary gifts.
