More Bars for PE Class

Help me give my students access to more barbells to train with on their way to Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Doherty's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

My Students

We have multiple teams and PE students using our outdoor lifting area, we would love for a couple newer bars or bumper plates. Our lifters are from all areas of the city and all yearn to achieve a higher level of performance. Our students come from the entire city and 80% are on free and reduced lunch.

We have a policy which allows anyone to learn how to use the Olympic lifts to improve.

We currently have 90 kids in two weightlifting classes along with at least 2 teams per season utilizing the weightroom.

We currently have 4 children training for the Youth Worlds and 3 training for Tokyo 2020.

My Project

We try to add equipment, especially barbells, every school year to our weightlifting area. This year, we will be outfitting 20 weightlifting platforms outside and 5 inside so the need for equipment is huge. The bars will be used to teach kids how to lift properly!

Please think of donating to our project!

Our project will support the incremental expansion of our program and the ability to keep growing!

The overall goal is to support one or more students to get to the Olympics! The amount of kids needs to increase every year in order for us to achieve our goal!
