Support Eagle Climbing + Fitness (COVID-19 Relief)
Donation protected
In times of crisis, we all turn to family, friends, community, and the things that ground us. Eagle Climbing + Fitness is all of that to us.
After many years of hard work Eagle Climbing + Fitness finally opened its doors, and for the past 17 months, we've been proudly growing a beautiful, strong, and unique community of climbers, yogis, and athletes. We offer one of a kind programs for kids and adults alike. We've watched families grow closer and stronger through their shared love of movement. We've watched couples, roommates, friends, and neighbors rekindle their relationships. It has been moving and breathtaking to be a part of these experiences.
We've been hard at work during the past three weeks cutting costs and expenses everywhere we can and applying for small business loans and grants and making plans for the future. But no one knows how long this will last or how bad this is really going to get. We can't wait for tax credits from the government to save our business and our community. We need your help to ensure that we can continue to serve you – our amazing climbing, fitness and yoga community. We can’t wait to reopen and see everyone together again.
How can you help? Donate today here on GoFundMe.
We also have the support of some very amazing and generous Eagle Climbing + Fitness members who are willing to match the first $6,500 in GoFundMe donations, dollar for dollar. Your donation here on GoFundMe can be doubled! Please donate today.
Your donations will go directly to our fixed operating expenses:
- occupation expenses (rent, property tax, HOA dues)
- utilities
- insurance (we've already been kindly notified that our insurance will not be processing any business interruption claims due to COVID-19)
- payroll as soon as we are able to reopen
This support will not go unrecognized – we are already brainstorming cool ways to thank you when this crisis ends. Your coaches, routesetters, managers and staff, and friends that work at Eagle Climbing + Fitness greatly appreciate any contributions that can be made.
We are a small, locally owned business, and we employ 20+ amazing locals. In all honesty, getting through this catastrophe isn’t a matter of how many staff we can keep on, but a matter of whether Eagle Climbing + Fitness survives as a business. Analyzing all the options, we concluded that the best way for us to help our staff was to make sure they had jobs to return to when this passes – that Eagle Climbing + Fitness remains solvent. It isn’t a matter of saving money by not paying our employees, it’s a matter of survival for all of us. We have laid off every one of our irreplaceable employees, but we (just like you) still have bills to pay during this crisis. We didn’t make this decision lightly—it is heart-wrenching and deeply troubling. We love our people. But in these times, loving them now means making sure that there is a job for them to come back to. And, when we reopen, we will be creeping into our slowest season for our business.
Our motto is ‘Building Strength In Our Community’ and we genuinely believe that we can continue this even through this unprecedented hardship. Our Strength now is built by supporting one another (of course, from 6+ feet away), by supporting small businesses, and by supporting our essential medical staff, first responders, and grocery workers. Check in on each other. Buy gift cards. Order take-out and delivery from local restaurants. Ask for help when needed. Offer help, we’re all going to need some help.
Until we meet again, the Belay Is On,
