Help Diablo Gymnastics School!
Donation protected
Diablo Gymnastics School has been teaching thousands of children the joy of gymnastics for 54 years. Some of our students have come back as parents and even grandparents, passing that joy through generations. We would like to continue this service for 50 years more, but our current circumstances are dire.
We've survived the shutdown so far by severely cutting our expenses and using our savings, which are now depleted. The PPP loan we received went only so far and came with heavy restrictions, making it a temporary boost but not a salvation.
Even into the fifth month of the shutdown, there are expenses we are obligated to pay. Furthermore, there are things we are unwilling to do to survive.
-We are obligated to pay rent of almost $23,000 each month.
-We are unwilling to stop paying the furloughed staff’s healthcare premiums that come to $6,500 monthly.
-We are obligated to pay other bills which, after reducing by half, amount to $15,000 each month.
-We are unwilling to spend money that has been paid to us for services we were not able to render, which means a fair bit of our bank balance is in reserve.
We have exhausted our options and are now appealing to our community for help. Any amount you can offer to help get us through the next two months will be dearly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to get the word out to as many people as possible. If you are a currently enrolled family with a credit on your account, simply letting us know that you would like to donate that credit will be a tremendous help. You can do so by emailing us.
We cannot imagine the San Ramon Valley without Diablo Gymnastics School, but we are now in imminent danger of closure. On behalf of our phenomenal staff, adorable students, and fierce, brave, disciplined, amazing team girls, we plead for your assistance. Please help us weather this shut down so we can continue to provide a home to this generation of gymnasts and the future generations to come.
