Suzy Ogé supporting Lift For Life Gym!

Every small gift to Lift For Life Gym makes a big impact!

Lift for Life Gym empowers kids to reach their full potential by providing fitness, mentoring, life skills, and nutrition to give them the strength to overcome their circumstances. We offer a safe, engaging after-school environment in North St. Louis City for kids to strengthen their bodies, enrich their minds, develop healthy social relationships, and learn to make positive life choices.

We are located in North St. Louis City at 14th Street and Cass Avenue. Our programs are provided at no cost to kids 8-18, including transportation home every evening. We believe that every child should be safe, nourished, and have access to the resources they need to reach their full potential. Lift for Life Gym meets needs both seen and unseen—because success requires more than opportunity; it requires support.

Lift for Life Gym achieves this by providing kids:

• Structure and consistencyin an otherwise unpredictable environment.
• Mentorship and role models who understand their lived experiences.
• Accountability and life skills that prepare them for the future.
• A sense of belonging and relationships akin to an extended family.
• Enrichment experiences to discover what St. Louis has to offer outside the constraints of their own neighborhood!

Please join me in making a difference in the lives of these kids! An investment in Lift for Life Gym is a solid investment in the transformation of North St. Louis City! 

With gratitude,

Suzy

“Lift for Life Gym is no ordinary program – it’s a family. The Gym has made a major impact on my life. I love Lift for Life Gym not only because they loved me and saved me but because they saved my brothers from a life the streets were offering. Lift for Life Gym offered me and my siblings so many opportunities to better ourselves. They helped my mom raise all six of us. They fed us when we were hungry, sheltered us when it was cold outside, and loved us unconditionally. Lift for Life Gym is an amazing place. So many members have come through those doors looking for love, support, and a home away from home – and that is exactly what they get.”
