Located in North St. Louis, the Gym gives more than 375 kids a safe, enriching environment to strengthen their bodies, enrich their minds, develop healthy social relationships, and learn to make positive life choices each year.

Every day we strive to ensure that the kids who come to the Gym have exposure to fun, active and healthy recreation, as well as a free nutritious meal and safe transportation home. Your support this weekend, and throughout the year, makes a difference every day in the lives of our Gym kids. Your generosity and participation mean that together we can continue to change lives and build brighter futures for our kids!
