About the organizer
All proceeds from the St. Louis Microfest goes to support Lift For Life Gym. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and your participation helps to ensure that our doors stay open.
In 1988 Lift for Life Gym opened in a modest cinderblock building at the corner of 14th and Cass Avenue with hopes to offer impoverished youth constructive, recreational opportunities as an alternative to idleness, crime, drugs, and violence. 34 years later, Lift for Life Gym now serves over 500 of St. Louis City's most underprivileged and under-resourced children and teens that must ward off negative influences on a daily basis.
Our mission is to offer St. Louis city children a safe and enriching environment in which to strengthen their bodies, enrich their minds, develop healthy social relationships and learn to make positive life choices. Our organization offers a wide variety of fitness, recreational, nutritional, artistic, academic, and personal growth programs year-round.
At Lift for Life Gym, staff recognizes that children's health and wellness are multi-faceted issues. To effect long-lasting change in the lives of under-resourced youth, the mental and physical elements of well-being must be addressed simultaneously. The Gym's programs and services are centered on the concept of "resiliency." Through our "Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds" project, we aid youth in the development of characteristics and coping skills that will help them succeed in life despite hardships and challenges.
Fitness services are the heart of Lift for Life Gym. These activities are meant to encourage kids to be persistent, build their athletic skill set and interact with other kids, and to be respectful. More specifically, the program has competitive Olympic-style weightlifting, middle school and high school age basketball teams, Zumba classes, and yoga classes, with many more options being created.
Our programs are generally offered Monday through Friday from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM throughout the school year. During the summer months, the Gym is able to provide an outlet to daily life and opportunity for extra learning opportunities with "field trips." Some examples include: sports camps, museum trips, live theatre experiences, and numerous arts and craft opportunities.
