“The Open Gym for Kylie” Fundraiser at Victory Gymnastics Academy

Victory Gymnastics Academy (www.vgasd.com) is hosting “The Open Gym for Kylie” fundraiser on Sunday, Jan. 19 for 19-month-old cancer patient, Kylie Rowand of Alpine, Calif.

VGA owner Shawna Meyer was moved to action after learning of Kylie’s sickness from a friend. A Facebook page named “Prayers for Kylie, God’s little Warrior” (https://www.facebook.com/prayersforkylie1) details the story of the toddler, who recently went to the doctor for a swollen eye but was unfortunately diagnosed with Stage 4 High-Risk Neuroblastoma. Kylie’s parents ask for monetary donations to help with Kylie’s massive medical expenses.

“When I learned of this little girl’s sudden sickness, I felt compelled to do something. Since Victory Gymnastic Academy works with many children, I felt there is no better way to give back then having kids helping kids,” says Meyer.

“The Open Gym for Kylie” will be at the Academy (4863 Shawline St. San Diego, CA 92111) from 12-2 p.m. The coaching staff will be volunteering their time in support. Admission is $10 per child and any additional donations are encouraged. All funds collected will be donated to “Prayers for Kylie.”
