FEAT From June 2008 to March 2020, Gymcats has offered classes for kids with autism. Gymcats teamed up with F.E.A.T. to help kids with autism build relationships, learn social skills, and improve gross motor learning skills all while having a ton of fun. We ran classes through to 2020 when the pandemic put a sudden halt to these classes. Click here for an article on how gymnastics can benefit kids with autism.

Project 150
Since the Brooklynn Mae Mohler foundation dissolved, we have been sending donations to Project 150, to help homeless kids in our city. We have raised thousands of dollars so far and continue to support teens who are in so much need during their formative years.

Brooklynn Mae Mohler (March 29, 2000 - June 4, 2013)
-
Brooklynn was on the Xcel Gymnastics Team at Gymcats and we miss her every day. The Brooklynn Mae Mohler Foundation is dedicated to gun safety education and prevention of senseless child deaths. Brooklynn was shot and killed by her best friend, who was playing with her father’s gun that was left loaded and chambered with no safety in a kitchen cabinet. This foundation is working to make something positive come from such a tragedy.

Gymcats donated $4,384.51 to Project 150 in December 2019. We collected and donated to this foundation as requested by Darchel Mohler while her foundation is temporarily on hold. The funds were raised through Gymcats Invitational 2018 & 2019 and Tournament of Champions 2019. We are so happy to help local teens in our community and made our donation in honor of Brooklynn Mae Mohler. We are crushed every day and every event that she is no longer with us.

Breast Cancer Awareness
2012: Through the Gymcats "Think Pink" Invitational, we raised $2,240 for Women's Health and Breast Cancer Research.
M-Lisada Charitable Event
Gymcats has a special connection with M-Lisada, an orphanage in Uganda. The history and heartache is so powerful and the needs are so great that a donation of just $160 can send a child to school for an entire year. School is something only the fortunate kids get to attend. Sometimes they don't have the money to attend or cannot afford a school uniform. The schools or orphanage often times don't have sufficient funds to feed the kids three times a day. Some kids don't have shoes and most have only 1 or 2 outfits of clothing. If you'd like to help, stay tuned for ways to sponsor a child.

Donations to Iraq
In July 2007, we mailed out packages to Iraq directly to the son of one of our former colleagues, Michael, who is a Doctor in Iraq. They received all the items and were very grateful for our generous donation. We made a difference in some Iraqi kids' lives, and Michael was overwhelmed by our generosity.
