My Gym Challenged America provides wheelchairs, feeding tubes, and other medical equipment to children facing physical and cognitive challenges.
The My Gym Challenged America Foundation (MGCA) was created to grant specific and necessary medical equipment to physically disabled children and children with urgent medical needs. MGCA was established in 2002 as a response to the distressing reality that not all families are able to afford the necessary items and services needed to improve or maintain their child’s quality of life.
The Challenged America Website is a medium through which parents, often from low-income families, submit requests for assistive devices, medical attention, and/or rehabilitative therapy they would otherwise be unable to obtain. Gift appropriations from the My Gym Challenged America Foundation are determined, on a monthly basis, by its Board of Directors based on greatest need, whom can be best assisted, funds available, and long-term impact on the child's quality of life.
The goal of the My Gym Challenged America Foundation is to transform our culture by providing programs and services that enhance the quality of life and improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of children who are "at risk" and those who are physically or developmentally challenged.
Our mission is to help these children acquire the confidence, self-esteem, and sense of well-being they need to lead healthy, productive, and rewarding lives. This, in turn, helps to break the cycles of violence, intolerance, and poverty. Additionally, our programs involving children with disabilities promote understanding, cooperation, and compassion. We are committed to nurturing children, treating them with dignity and positive reinforcement, maintaining a loving and supportive atmosphere, and helping youngsters develop a sense of accomplishment. All of our programs are formulated to bring children a feeling of success.
