KG KARES
KG Kares
KG Kares is our community-driven initiative dedicated to giving back and supporting local youth and organizations throughout the year.
At Kawartha Gymnastics, we believe that sport should be inclusive, accessible, and connected to the broader community. Through KG Kares, we proudly support programs like the Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Foundation’s Santa Sleigh initiative and annual holiday drives for the Kawartha Food Share. We’re committed to ensuring that every child feels welcome within our walls—regardless of their background or circumstances.
As part of this mission, KG Kares also includes our Inclusion Funding Program, which helps remove financial and accessibility barriers for youth who may otherwise be unable to participate in our programming. This initiative reflects our deep belief in the power of sport to uplift, connect, and inspire.
Inclusion Funding Program
The KG Kares Inclusion Funding Program is part of our commitment to ensuring that all children have the opportunity to experience the benefits of gymnastics, regardless of financial circumstances or personal challenges.
This fund is designed to support youth who are facing financial barriers or who require additional accommodations to participate in our programming. Successful applicants will receive funding that covers the full cost of a recreational gymnastics session (ranging from 12 to 16 weeks), a full day camp, or full week of summer camp.
Our first round of funding applications will be open from July 28 to August 15, followed by a second round from November 3 to 21, and a third round from March 2 to 20, 2026. All applications are reviewed by our KG Kares allocations committee, and support will be offered confidentially to selected families.
Our first round of applications will be open from July 28 to August 15, offering selected recipients the chance to participate in one of the following 12-week classes beginning the week of September 2nd:

Donation & Sponsorship Opportunities
We are actively seeking community support through sponsorships and donations to help grow our Inclusion Funding Program. A donation of $75 can help a child attend a full day camp, $350 a full week of summer camp, and $500 can provide an athlete the opportunity to participate in a full 12-16 week recreational gymnastics session.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us support youth in our community. We are proud to recognize Health Futures as our 2025 Inclusion Funding Sponsor. Their generous support made it possible to launch this initiative and begin creating more opportunities for children to access gymnastics.
