Phyt Cares is the minority and woman-led 501c3 U.S. tax-exempt and 1101.01 Puerto Rico tax-exempt (Child Eradication of Poverty [CECFL approved]) arm of Phyt Gym founded by Jonas Serrano and co-founded by Elana Margulies-Snyderman that educates youth and communities through fitness in New York City and Puerto Rico and also supports and mentors Puerto Rican entrepreneurs on the Island to help them run and grow their respective businesses. Due to the generous support from alternative investment professionals and Act 60 residents in Puerto Rico, our impact over the last decade plus has been immense. We are a fully volunteer-run organization and nearly all the donations go directly to our communities we serve. 

In the New York City area, we are proud to partner with the following groups where we provide weekly fitness programs:  Kool Kids Passaic (NJ), a Jewish community organization for youth with special needs; YAI, a non-profit for young adults with special needs; and students at Issac Newton Middle School in East Harlem. 

In Puerto Rico, through a partnership with a Jewish community organization on the Island, we have given their members  complimentary access to Phyt Gym PR to have a welcoming fitness home. In addition, Phyt Cares has a partnership with the IslandCorps. for underserved youth on the Island, collecting and donating toys to children in vulnerable and remote communities. Finally, we have been instrumental in supporting and mentoring young Puerto Rican entrepreneurs by giving them a platform to run and successfully grow their businesses out of Phyt Gym PR.  

On behalf of Jonas, Elana and our entire Board of Directors, from the bottom of our hearts, we wanted to thank you for your support.
