Community Bridge Fund
Help our staff land on their feet.
While we work to reopen Climb Nittany, the staff who built this community need a bridge. Pledge here — every dollar goes directly to them.

Climb Nittany closed on May 31. The staff have spent years building the welcoming, skilled, tight-knit community we all love. They are now on Pennsylvania unemployment while the community works to reopen the gym under new ownership.
Unemployment covers roughly half of what they were earning. This fund bridges that gap. The goal is modest: we're raising enough to top up their income for the weeks between closure and reopening, so they don't have to take other jobs and disappear from our community.
How it works: Pledge your contribution here. Once we have a clear picture of the total, we'll reach out to you directly with Zelle transfer instructions. The money goes straight to the staff — no middleman, no platform fees.
The gym is coming back. Help us make sure the people who made it great are still here when it does.
Your pledge is recorded. We'll be in touch with Zelle transfer instructions once the campaign is ready to activate.
