BOOKER FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Launch Of Booker Gym Clubs Children Charity
Each year Booker Gym Club raises money for new equipment to help our gymnasts progress. This year we would like to make a change and raise money for less fortunate children overseas. We have organized for two of our gymnastic coaches to travel to Accra in Ghana to teach gymnastics at the Osu Children's Home in January 2010. After an associate met with these children and was so moved by their plight we felt we needed to give these children something to improve their quality of life. Although we know we cannot change their situation to a great degree we can give them a real treat and also see how we can hlep them in the future.
Already gym clubsand schools in Bucks have generously given all the crucial gym equipment we need for a gym session and what we could not find we managed to buy second hand. This equipment includes a vaulting horse, padded bench, springboards, rebounder, 26 mats and lots of balls, bats and gym kits. All this is being shipped out and we have contacts in Ghana to help us get this equipment to the children. In the meantime, we need to raise necessary funds to help cover the costs for providing this experience for the children and also purchase many mosquito nets which are urgently required in this area.
Please can you help us with our quest and give generously. All our major sponsors will be listed on our website and at our gym club. We are also looking to take unwanted leotards, gym kists, football boots and footwear in general, so this is a chance for everyone to help.
