Fit Kids needs your support to put fund 1,000 Fit Kits for kids in our programs!

$8,450

$25,000 goal

Fit Kids’ mission is to provide structured physical activity programs for underserved children to build the foundation for a healthy, active life. We founded the organization in 2011 to address disparities in access to healthy physical activity among Bay Area kids. Our initial goal was to bring sports programs to low-income communities. We quickly found that the young people with whom we were working lacked the coordination, speed, strength and agility that sports require. Why? They were never given the opportunity to develop those basic skills.

Fit Kids creates that opportunity. We have developed a curriculum that motivates at-risk children to get and stay active by engaging them in consistent, structured activities that allow them to build fitness and motor skills from the ground up. Before COVID-19 interrupted this past school year, more than 15,000 children were enrolled in Fit Kids—a 40%+ increase over 2018-2019. 

COVID-19 has certainly disrupted our lives and our work. But a quarantine can’t stop a child’s need for physical activity—in fact, it only increases it! But we need your support to keep kids active and we have an easy opportunity for you to make a lasting contribution in response to this moment. Please consider a donation to help put a home fitness bag into the hands of a young child in Fit Kids. Each bag will include 3 pieces of equipment that kids will be able to use at home (or at school). We will also be producing a series of videos that kids can follow along to so they have specific exercises and fitness activities to utilize their home fitness kits. Each kit costs $25 and we hope you will consider helping us fund 1,000 kits for kids in the Bay Area.
