Young gymnasts cry for help
THE Mossman and District Gymnastics Club is appealing to the local business community to partner with the club.
Club manager Hayley Bender said the club had been severely affected by the devastating floods in late 2023, resulting in over $400,000 worth of damages and an eight-month closure.
“This has been an incredibly challenging time for us, with significant rebuilding efforts underway to restore our facilities and programs,” she said.
The club was forced to close for more than eight months after the floods, during which staff lost their jobs and they had to almost completely rebuild their facilities.
“Despite these challenges, we are committed to bouncing back stronger and continuing to serve as a vital resource for our community,” Ms Bender said, adding that support from business sponsors could “make a huge difference in helping us recover and thrive.
“Despite these difficulties, we remain committed to delivering high-quality gymnastics programs that benefit people of all ages and abilities within our community,” she said.
“We have put together a range of sponsorship packages for 2025, which offer unique opportunities for (businesses) to gain exposure while supporting a much-loved community organisation.”
She said sponsorship of the club will help them recover and continue to provide a vital service for over 300 gymnasts and their families.
“The Mossman and District Gymnastics Club is a proud, community-focused, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to delivering ‘Gymnastics for All’ in a fun, friendly and inclusive environment,” Ms Bender said.
“We provide recreational and competitive classes, as well as fitness programs, catering to all ages and abilities – from babies to seniors. Our mission is to promote sport and recreation that benefits the entire community.”
Any businesses interested in the club’s sponsorship packages, which start from as little as $275 can contact Ms Bender at info@mossmangymnastics.com
