The Crisis
Company who owned the building in which Dreamflight Theatrical Gymnastics is located sold their building.
When Dreamflight learned of this, we immediately met with the new owner - ShirtCo (a T-Shirt company) - to explain that it would be impossible for us to uproot and relocate before the end of the year. Instead of giving us the time, they gave us until the end of July, threatening to change the locks and take our equipment if we were not out by then.
Thanks to Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts getting us an incredible legal firm to fight for us, the eviction was stopped and we have come to a lease agreement with the new owners that gives us until July 2028. That is a hard date, however, and we will still need to raise considerable capital to move. It just buys us a little time.
About Dreamflight
One-of-a-kind, Dreamflight Theatrical Gymnastics offers Gymnastics, Dance, Acting, Writing and more through an interdisciplinary program.
As a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, Dreamflight serves 150+ families (children from 2-18, including, but not limited to, Preschool, Recreation, Competitive Team, and those with Special Needs) who cannot afford any other means of athletic or creative outlets. We are 25-60% cheaper than any other gymnastics facility in the area, and fundraise through Kid's Nights and Recitals to keep additional fees that others charge off the parents' plates.
We are now looking to either build or buy a building within the next 18-24 months. And thus will be increasing our goal and looking for expanded ways to fund our next chapter.
Building Needs:
- 9,000+ Square Feet
- At least 41 ft between any support columns (to fit the 40'x40' spring floor)
- 24' Ceiling Clearance
Ultimately, if you've read this far, please share and share some more, because word of mouth is the only way we're to find enough small donors, or even a few angel donors out there. Anything you or your friends, family, or connections otherwhere can do is greatly appreciated.
In Conclusion
By donating, you'll be helping 150+ families in this community, and be a part of a truly unique academy that serves everyone.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
