Help Tyler Smith buy Lawrence Gymnastics Academy!

Hello family, friends, acquaintances, Lawrence Gymnastics Academy members, Lawrence Gymnastics Academy Alumni, and all types of other supporters around the United States of America!

BACKGROUND:

My name is Tyler Smith. I have been a part of the Lawrence Gymnastics Academy (LGA) family from 2006-present (2021). I competed as a Level 10 for LGA, where shortly after, I started instructing birthday parties, day camp, parents night out, open gyms, and recreational gymnastics classes. As the years went by, I gained more important roles at the business, such as gym maintenance, Team Head Coach, and Day Camp Director. After I graduated college with distinction and as the soccer team captain from Ottawa University, I picked up more business responsibilities, where I became a gym manager, Recreational Director, and Team Director.

PRESENT:

The time for new ownership is now! The current owner of LGA and I have been working very tightly together for several years, and I am ready to take ownership of the business. We share the same intense passion for developing children, providing a safe, fun place where children can enjoy physical activity, and preparing children for a healthy, active life through the sport of gymnastics and tumbling. Sharing these passions and continuing the atmosphere and tradition that LGA built over 25 years of business is very important to the current owner, which is why he would love to sell me his amazing business! I am ready, excited, and anxious to start the next chapter of my professional career, but I have one major component keeping my dreams out of reach - funding.

Between family, friends, acquaintances, LGA members, LGA Alumni, Ottawa University Alumni, Lawrence Free State High School Alumni, Lawrence High School Alumni, KU Alumni, USAG members, USAG Alumni, and all supporters of gymnastics and safe, active, healthy children - I truly believe I can achieve my goal of buying the business, or at least make a down payment on the business.

I have encouraged and supported many people of all ages to fight adversity and never give up on chasing their dreams, so I stand here today to lead by example and chase my dreams. I CAN NOT do this without you! I need your encouragement. I need your support. I need any and all sizes of donations/funds/loans. I need you to share,

repost, and pray as much as possible for me!

I want to thank everyone who has help build me into who I am today, and where I am today. I thank you for support in any type of fashion on this venture. Again, I CAN NOT do this without you!
