Pink Invitational Results

We would like to give a huge Thank-you to all who participated in our Think Pink fundraising campaign. Our competitive women's team was able to attend the Unite for Her / Think Pink Invitational Competition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania February 23 - 26th. We had over 20 gymnasts from our club attend with over 2100 other gymnasts from across the USA. Our club was the only Canadian team to attend and was able to raise $7000 USD for the cause, which also placed our team in 2nd place for the "Above and Beyond" team challenge for Fundraising. The top 3 teams in the challenge were able to choose the charity that a portion of our funds would be donated to, so we chose the Edmonton Cross Cancer Institute and Unite for Her will donate the funds in our name. This event raised over $60,000 for Breast Cancer research!! This cause is very close to our hearts, well done ladies!!!

The Pink Invitational was a good time had by all.  The meet had a beautiful venue, was very well organized, and was a great experience for all our girls.  The meet organizers were very excited to have our Canadian team there and made us feel very welcome ... they even played the Canadian anthem for us during the Level 10 session.  During the Level 9 awards they presented us with our Above and Beyond Team Challenge Award for being the 2nd place fundraising team.  The presentation was very special and they awarded us with a framed award, club banner, and spotting box.  When were were not in the gym we had fun exploring the city of Philadelphia - lots of history and yummy food.
