IHRSA: Success By Association
Happy Holidays!
2016 has been a whirlwind of a year, and we at IHRSA couldn’t be more glad to have spent it with all of you, growing the fitness industry and helping to make the world a more active, healthy place!
In this spirit of our mission to grow, protect, and promote the industry, IHRSA has created several opportunities for members to get involved and give back. Your generous contributions can be made easily online, and to the causes that are closest to the heart of your club.
The IHRSA Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable organization established in 2012. The IHRSA Foundation relies on donations to help promote health through exercise by funding ACCESS Health initiatives including Cancer Care, Diabetes, Inclusive Fitness, and Chronic Disease. The IHRSA Foundation will accept donations directly, or through a partnership with Amazon Smile. Simply choose the IHRSA Foundation as your charity of choice and Amazon Smile will donate on your behalf every time you shop on Amazon.com.
The Industry Leadership Council (ILC) is a leadership group whose mission is to fund IHRSA’s advocacy efforts. Specifically, IHRSA protects clubs from legislation and taxes that could seriously hurt club operations and profits. IHRSA works to grow your business by creating and supporting policies that encourage physical activity and health club membership. To join the ILC, please contact Meredith Poppler, download a pledge form, or contribute online.
Education has always been a cornerstone for IHRSA and its members, and The IHRSA Institute is the pinnacle of this offering. Two scholarships have been created to give two deserving fitness industry leaders the chance to attend the IHRSA Institute in 2017. Scholarship donations can be made to the John McCarthy Merit Scholarship and The Curt & Jane Beusman Institute Scholarship.
In this season of giving, we appreciate all your efforts to support and grow the Industry!
Thanks for a wonderful 2016!
Seasons Greetings,
Joe Moore and the IHRSA Staff
