Thinking outside the box!
We have a dream.
We want to THINK BIG, DREAM BIG and GO FOR IT!
Our Story:
Tony Sanchez: Costa Rican, 3 time National Bodybuilding Champion of Costa Rica; Certified Personal Trainer, Gym manager; passionate about his job and family!
April Binnie; Canadian, married to Tony; with 2 duo-citizen kids; Coordinator at CISA Spanish school & VQC Mission; Administrator at Gym; loves her jobs and family!
Tony manages a gym in Turrialba, Costa Rica and it is our dream to make it the BEST gym in Turrialba for clients to stay in shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In order to be the best gym, we need to provide the best facilities to our clients.
Reality:
Our weight room is very outdated!!! It needs a major overhaul! The competition is getting fierce within Turrialba, with newer gyms opening and clients beginning to be more selective about where they are choosing to train.
We know that in order to stay competitive and to be able to reach our DREAM of providing the best facilities and services to our clients, that we need upgrade our weight room equipment.
Challenge:
The big obstacle: FINANCES! We need $30,000 US in order to be able to buy new equipment. We need help! We cannot do this on our own!
Request:
We are wanting to ‘think outside the box’ and look at different and creative ways to raise funds.
We are taking a step in reaching out to our friends and family, clients, etc. asking for contributions to help our dream come true!
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering donating towards our goal.
Many Blessings!
Tony & April (Valentina & Noah)
