Community Development and Outreach
Chapter 126 Scholarships: Removing All Barriers
While membership fees contribute to a portion of our operating revenue, in order to keep our fees affordable and competitive for you, every membership
is subsidized. Unlike most fitness and recreation facilities, Chapter 126 Sports & Fitness and Oak Hill are not-for-profit public charities. This means
that we rely on thegenerosity of others in the form of contributions, grants and sponsorships in order to provide top-notch programs, delivered by highly
skilled staff, in a state-of-the-art facility, to people who need us the most.
In addition, Chapter 126 offers scholarships to qualifying members with a demonstrated financial need. Scholarships offset all or a portion of membership
fees, so that more individuals in our community who might benefit by participating here are able to do so.
Chapter 126 and Oak Hill actively solicit and receive support from individuals, foundations, corporations and community groups. We invite you to join us
in supporting Chapter 126 and Oak Hill by including a donation in your monthly membership payment, making an annual gift, requesting a matching gift from
your employer, making a deferred gift, or volunteering to help at a Chapter 126 or Oak Hill event. For more ways to get involved in supporting Chapter
126 Sports & Fitness and Oak Hill, please contact our Development Office at (860)769-3834.
