About Us

Adopt-a-Gym

Adopt-a-Gym is a “by kids, for kids” fundraiser where schools raise funds to purchase physical education equipment for other schools that are short on resources to purchase adequate equipment for themselves. Funds are raised by students through fun fitness events such as fun runs, dance-a-thons and other creative active events.

We Run Fun Fitness Fundraisers

We Adopt Schools In Need

If you or a school you know lacks the funding & equipment your students deserve, apply as a recipient school!

Our school got 7 feet of water and was destroyed...We had lost everything. Adopt-a-Gym has provided me and my students with much needed equipment to help us get back on our feet. We are so excited and grateful for their kindness! Thank you so much! ADOPT-A-GYM ROCKS!!!

Adopt-a-Gym is not just a terrific program, it's an institution that should be implemented across the US. Students are able to see first hand the impact of their charity on children just like them. It has forever changed my life and the lives of my students.
