Gymcats will be donating proceeds of a number of events throughout the year to benefit the Shade Tree Organization. In November 2007, our holiday camps at Thanksgiving where 25% of all camp enrollment will be given to the Shade Tree organization. (Our camps raised $438) Also our November 10th flip flop shop kicks it off by donating 10% of each enrollment to Shade Tree (Our Nov. flip flop shop raised $21.14).

We are going to do an on-going sponsorship of our open gyms with 15% of open gym profits going towards the Shade Tree. (Our open gyms donated $625) When your kids attend open gym, not only do they have fun and learn, they also are helping a charity who is in so much need. Shade Tree helps women and children when they need it most, and we at Gymcats are so proud to be a part of helping these women and kids. Our Shade Tree dinner raised $1882 and with all the other events we presented Shade Tree with checks totaling $3241.54. Thank you Gymcats members for your support of this great organization.
