Disaster Relief - Beantown Barbell
A fellow gym and USA Weightlifting club needs help after a disaster. Let's join together to help them get back on their feet.
What happened
Beantown Barbell Club in Lynn, MA was struck by flash floods over the weekend of August 11/12. It wiped out the whole gym overnight.
They lost their flooring, their platforms, and some of their equipment (including barbells, weights, and weight storage).
What we're asking
Beantown didn't ask us for help. They didn't ask us to create this Go Fund Me. However they did give us their consent when we proposed it.
We think they deserve disaster relief support from the community in whatever way people can contribute.
With $10,000, Beantown will be able to
• strip the floors down to the concrete
• disinfect the entire gym from sewage
• replace their lost platforms
• replace their lost equipment
• begin the process of finding and placing a deposit for a temporary, or even a permanent, new home.
If ever you've been affected by the influence of a great gym...
If ever your life has been changed by coaches and a community that want nothing but to help you get better...
Please donate and help Beantown restore their gym and get back to doing the good work that they love so much.
Literally any amount will help.
(100% of donation dollars received will be provided to Beantown Barbell.)
