Help Us Help the Community Center
This will be a public fundraiser to help our group purchase an on-demand fitness system for the center. It will help the staff offer more activities for both groups and individuals. This is in line with our support of the Center across a wide variety of activities and events. If you’d like to see what we’ve done since our founding, please check out our Three-Year Report here.
Proceeds will go first to the fitness system, with additional funds placed in our Heart of the Community Fund. That special pot of money is there to help Gilpinites who need a little financial help to gain access to the Center and its activities. Over the past two years, we’ve helped a number of Gilpin neighbors afford to use the Center for exercise, to take classes, and participate in activities.
