Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

We will have served almost 2,500 children and their parents or caregivers this year. That will be a new record for the 10 years we have been open. The average number for a session is 12 children.

We do our very best to ensure that every child can enjoy the benefits the gym offers to everyone.
