Redirect March Membership to Circle C Staff
Donation protected
Hey y'all, by now we've all heard that Circle C has joined the rest of the OTF locations in closing until at least 3/31 :( After I got past my immediate relief of having a great excuse to not go to class, I realized... this sucks! I've only gone to OTF for 3 months, but honestly, this is the longest I've kept up with any exercise routine in my entire adult life. I attribute all of this to Orangetheory and the staff at Circle C, specifically. I look forward to seeing if Allan has any new EDM music recommendations for me, watching Terrence dance like everyone is watching (amazing), perfecting my form so Neena can't correct it ;), and Devante shouting "whaddup, my weekend warriors!?!" to start off my Saturday morning... I truly appreciate every single person that makes OTF Circle C exactly what it is... and I'm sure you do too!
My ask is pretty simple... since OTF will automatically be freezing all memberships on 3/18, I'm asking you to re-direct the money that you would have paid for the remainder of the month of March (so just less than half of the money you already budgeted to go towards OTF) to our staff family at OTF Circle C.
There are about 1000 members at our location... if even just half of us gave $65 (less than half a month of membership) directly to the OTF staff, we hopefully will be able to offset the stress and anxiety that this virus has caused for our friends that make OTF Circle C the best OTF location there is.
No one on staff has any idea I'm doing this, I just realized today that, while I am slightly inconvenienced by not getting to go to class, these people that we all care about are actually being faced with the possibility that they won't be able to take care of the things they need to (rent, food, family, etc, etc) due to the lost wages during the studio's closure. There are lots of organizations asking for help, but I know there are plenty of other members out there who would love to support these awesome people, too.
I hope you'll consider re-directing the rest of your March membership fees directly to this GoFundMe. Every thing given here will go directly to the staff at Circle C to offset the lost wages from the studio's temporary closure. The GoFundMe goal is a rough estimate of the monthly wages for the 15+ staff members at Circle C.
I wish all the best for you and your family and hope that you are able to get the support you need if you are experiencing a hardship from this virus as well. Hope to meet you someday in class!
