"Gymnasts execute, in a single evening, acts of greater daring and perform more valiantly more muscular feats than some baseball and football players are called upon to do in an entire season." - Frank G. Menke

The time to help University of California, Berkeley men's gymnastics is now!

CAL Mens PageUSA Gymnastics has been in  contact with the administration of the University of
California, Berkeley,  and the Cal Gymnastics Forever Foundation, which has launched an impressive initiative to help men's gymnastics at Cal. At this time, we urge you to support the efforts of Cal Gymnastics Forever. The organization has raised more than $44,000 and received more than 100 letters of support. The leadership of Cal Gymnastics Forever is developing a business plan to present to the University next week, and they plan to include all letters of support, along with a summary of donations and financial pledges.

The details and links for online donations and letters of support are available through the group's website, www.calgymnasticsforever.com, or its Facebook page. The Cal Gymnastics Forever team has made it very easy to submit your letters, including an online "auto-create" letter system that only needs you to enter your name and contact information and click a button.

Please submit your letters and your pledges now so that your voice will be heard. The gymnastics family has shown repeatedly what can be accomplished when we join forces, and we would appreciate everyone's joining the effort to save this historic and storied program.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping us make sure the men's Cal gymnastics team celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2012.

Regards,

Peter Vidmar   Steve Penny
Chairman        President/CEO

USAG-Illinois NEEDS your help!

 
USA Gymnastics has again selected Chicago to host a Nationally televised gymnastics meet, the Cover Girl Classic being held from July 22-25th, 2010 at the UIC Pavillion.  This is the second prestigious artistic gymnastic event to be held here in Chicago in 2 years (we hosted the American Cup at the Sears Centre in February of 2009).  This is also the last qualifying meet to the USAG Visa Championships, which is our National Championships, and this is both an International Competition as well as a Junior competition.
 
We are in need of at least 40 volunteers on Thursday, July 22nd starting at 10:00am through approx. 4:00-6:00pm at the UIC Pavillion to set up the podium first, then the equipment.  We then need 40 volunteers to tear down the equipment after the event is over on Sunday July 25th starting at about 4:00pm to load the equipment back on the trucks and tear down and load the podium.  We would GREATLY appreciate your assistance in this task!  We are looking for coaches, parents judges, and athletes aged 14+ to help us out.
 
All we would need is for ANY volunteer to sign-up at the following link:
Click here: :: USA Gymnastics :: 2010 CoverGirl Classic ::  and click on the "Sign up now" button on the right side below VOLUNTEERS.
 
They will then be contacted by either myself or Cindy Moreno with further information.  As a thank you for their help, we are attempting to confirm that volunteers will be able to use their credentials to enter the arena for free during any of the competitions and watch the events from a designated seating area for volunteers.  This is not confirmed yet, however this has been allowed in the past.
 
Thank you so much for your time and for your assistance in this matter.  We look forward to putting on another remarkable event here in Chicago and hope that our hard work and dedication continues to bring us these meets, and hopefully a future National Championship competition!  I look forward to seeing you at the Classic!
