Fundraising for a Cause
Dakota Star Gymnastics is a 501(C)3 charitable orgainzation. We fundraise* in an effort to keep tuition affordable for our members and event guests. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe, and quality experience for all members of our community without putting undue burden on families' budgets.
Studies show that youth athletes are better students, have stronger social skills, and are more motivated and successful employees when they enter the workforce. Please help us build our community's future through today's children!
*Please note that all fundraisers through DSG must be pre-paid and money received in the office by the fundraising deadline for your items to be ordered. Thank you for your understanding.

Giving Tree (December)
How it works:
In December, take a star from the Giving Tree in our lobby and donate the item listed to DSG. The items are generally items like cleaning supplies and tissues.
Grab a few extra items while you are at the store instead of worrying about trying to sell for a fundraiser; a little goes a long way to help us keep the gym a clean and healthy place!
If you're interested in volunteering to sell tickets, please sign up HERE! It's a great way to meet other gym families, teach your children about sales, and you even get into the races for free on nights that you volunteer. Click HERE for race-day policies.
