YOU CAN HELP! Crowdfunders spring into action to foot the cost of a floor for local high-school gymnasts

Local high-school gymnasts finally have a place to practice – but it has to be paid for – so a crowdfunding campaign is under way. From West Seattle High School athletic director Trevor Leopold:

The West Seattle High School gymnastics team lost their practice facility when West Side Gymnastics Academy closed its doors this year. Because of the closure, we had to purchase a Spring Floor so the team could practice at the high school. The cost of the Spring Floor is approximately $21,000 and we are trying our best to raise the money. Currently we have about $5000 but are ending up short at this time. West Seattle is also helping the Chief Sealth team by allowing them to come practice at WSHS and use the spring floor as well. This is something which was a must-purchase; we need help. This is the link for SNAP fundraising where people can donate and help the team.

    Does anyone know the status of West Side Gymnastics? As a former client, the closure came as an abrupt surprise. We were led to believe that Echo was going to reopen nearby. Now it is 3 months later and I’ve heard nothing.
    .
    It certainly appeared that business was booking. Enough so that Echo needed to expand (and have enough room for a full spring floor, not just half). We’ve been holding off on finding another gym but my emails and fb queries go unanswered.

    Anyone have news?

Sorry, comment time is over.
