The kids at the GYM have a wide variety of physical needs, and any amount of cash that you can donate will help cover the cost of meeting these needs. Donations can be made via my Cashapp, which is $ALCauthenIII and my phone number is 404-512-3150. The profile pic is of me in a suit and bowtie.

Also, we started an Amazon wish list that include foods, board games, arts and crafts supplies, sports equipment, and educational items that the neighborhood kids need, which can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/PWCPR26K6IVH?ref_=wl_share. 

Volunteers are needed most during holiday breaks and summer vacation. There are variety of ways that people can lend a hand and volunteer. We are particularly interested in people who have skills in the following disciplines:

• Photography and film
• Fine Arts (Painting, drawing, sculpting, etc.)
• Performing Arts (Music, dance, drama)
• Culinary Arts
• Carpentry
• Sports (Baseball, football, soccer, etc.)

All volunteers must complete a volunteer application, do an in-person interview, and pass a background check. For more information about volunteering, please email Deanna Cauthen at dzstories@yahoo.com.

There is power in partnership because partners and sponsors will allow us to expand the services for the foundation. The GYM foundation is looking for the following types of partners and sponsors:

• Community Partners such as schools, churches and other faith-based organizations, and food banks
• Corporate Sponsors for funding and product donations like toys, educational supplies, and clothing
• Government Agency Partners for grants and additional funding
• Other Non-profit Partners for joint programming and shared resources
• Media/Promotional Partners for awareness campaigns and volunteer recruitment

If your organization would like to partner with us or become a sponsor of our foundation, please reach out to Deanna Cauthen at 404-510-4634.
