ADAPT Gym in North Miami Announces Youth-Targeted Nonprofit

ADAPT, North Miami’s largest fitness & wellness facility, has launched a nonprofit organization, ADAPT Non-Profit Foundation, LLC. ADAPT, a longtime advocate for youth development, created the nonprofit in order to sponsor young members of South Florida’s community on a journey to wellness and core physical development. The foundation will collaborate with key partners on various initiatives throughout the year, all with the same mission to support South Florida’s youth, the future of our community.

Youth development is at the core of the foundation's mission. ADAPT understands the value of regular exercise and creating healthy habits at a young age. Physical activity can help children and adolescents improve cardio-respiratory fitness, build strong bones and muscles, control weight, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and reduce the risk of developing health
conditions. ADAPT Non-Profit Foundation, LLC aims to help provide the youth throughout South Florida access to the resources needed to better manage their health and wellness, despite socioeconomic level.

“We want to open our doors to any adolescent interested in developing their athletic ability, or wanting to prioritize their wellness,” states Jorge Sanchez, co-founder of ADAPT. “We don’t want finances to be a barrier to these kids getting the guidance, activity, and development that they need, especially during this time.”

Funds and donations are accepted at any time through the ADAPT website, or through the participation of organized activities by ADAPT Non-Profit. The nonprofit’s first event is the annual Turkey Bowl on Thursday, November 26th between 9 am - 11 am at the Miami Shores Recreation Field. All are welcome to partake in friendly flag football games for every age and level of play. ADAPT will collect $10 per player and provide t-shirts on the day of the event. All proceeds will go towards the sponsorship of young locals in the Youth Development Program at ADAPT.

ADAPT Non-Profit Foundation is also hosting a food drive this November to collect canned goods for locals in need of assistance, to be donated to Feeding South Florida. A drop off box will be accessible daily at ADAPT Gym at 14901 NE 20th Ave, North Miami, from now until Thanksgiving. Feeding South Florida is requesting holiday foods such as canned cranberry and vegetables, as well as boxed mashed potatoes and stuffing mix.
