Youth Weightlifting in Mexico

Donation protected
Vallarta Weightlifting was founded by Coach Mario with the goal of giving boys and girls ages 13-18 the opportunity to learn self-discipline and teamwork through the sport of weightlifting.  Since starting the program in 2015, Coach Mario has covered all program expenses out of pocket, giving the opportunity to 15 at-risk youth in Puerto Vallarta to practice weightlifting and compete in competitions.

We need your help now in order to continue operating and expand the program.  Funds raised will support the kids in this underserved area and cover operating costs including a healthy meal at each practice, as well as travel costs to competitions such as Olimpiada Nacional and Copa Pavo.   Additional funds raised beyond our goal will go towards shoes and used equipment. 

Please help us reach our goal of $3,500 and change the lives' of Mexico's youth weightlifters!

Follow Vallarta Weightlifting on Facebook and Instagram to see the kids’ progress!
