Key City Gymnastics Fundraising: Over $9K Raised in One Year

Club Spotlight: Key City Gymnastics | Cranbrook, BC

A standout year fueled by club spirit, family support, and smart fundraising

About Key City Gymnastics

Key City Gymnastics in Cranbrook, BC is home to roughly 350 young athletes, training year-round in a busy, high-energy club environment. Between practices, competitions, and family commitments, their community is always on the go. But this year, they proved just how powerful that community can be.

In 2025, Key City Gymnastics ran two successful TeamFund campaigns, raising a combined $9,010 while strengthening family engagement and building momentum through the Spring and Fall.

Common Gymnastics Fundraising Challenges

Like many large gymnastics clubs, Key City Gymnastics faced familiar fundraising challenges:

A large membership base with varying schedules and availability
Limited volunteer time for planning and coordinating traditional fundraisers
A need for reliable funding to support training, equipment, and athlete development
Families juggling busy seasons and multiple commitments

The club needed a gymnastics fundraising option that was easy to organize, practical for families to support, and capable of generating meaningful results.

Their goal was simple: run a fundraiser that fits into real life, respects club members’ time, while delivering the financial impact they need.

What Made This Gymnastics Fundraising Approach Work

Key City Gymnastics succeeded by working with TeamFund to:

Simplify fundraising logistics so organizers could focus on athletes and programming instead of chasing payments, organizing spreadsheets, and collecting order forms
Increase participation across a large club without overwhelming families
Deliver meaningful results without adding extra volunteer hours or burnout
Build repeat excitement for future fundraisers instead of one-and-done campaigns
Provide products families genuinely wanted, making it easy to say “yes” instead of feeling pressured to support
Create momentum season over season, turning a successful first fundraiser into even stronger results the second time around

Spring Gymnastics Fundraiser: BBQ Meats

In June, Key City Gymnastics launched their first TeamFund campaign with the BBQ Meat Fundraiser. From day one, the response was strong.

Families quickly embraced the fundraiser thanks to:

High-quality food products
A simple online ordering experience
Clear communication about why it matters

In Spring, they raised $3,617 in their very first food fundraiser.

For a first-time campaign, this level of engagement is rare, and it spoke volumes about the club’s organized leadership and the trust their families have in the programs and experiences Key City Gymnastics provides.

When the spring fundraiser wrapped up, families asked: when is the next one?

The combination of easy ordering, products families actually wanted, and a visible impact on athlete programming created momentum that carried into the Fall season.

Fall Gymnastics Fundraiser: Fill Your Freezer

So, Key City Gymnastics returned in the Fall, this time with a Fill Your Freezer fundraising campaign and that momentum transformed into even greater support.

Club engagement grew, participation widened, and excitement built across the organization, leading to $5,393 raised in the Fall, surpassing their first campaign.

One of the key markers of their success is the consistency of club buy-in.

From the earliest planning stages back in the spring, coaches, staff, and families all aligned around the importance of accessible fundraising—especially for a large club with hundreds of athletes and a busy year-round schedule. That unified approach meant that by the time each campaign opened, families were eager, ready, and even excited to participate.
