INDIANAPOLIS (December 2, 2024) – The newly reconstituted USA Gymnastics Foundation board of directors has unveiled a strategic vision rooted in the principle of being “The All-Around Champion for the Sport.”
With a vision of Empowering champions and enriching communities for all-around success, the USA Gymnastics Foundation raises funds to inspire world-class achievement at all levels of the sport and in life. Fundraising centers on two primary pillars: Empowering Champions by supporting athlete performance, health and wellness at all levels of the sport; and Enriching Communities by holistically supporting the gymnastics community.
“It is important to the Foundation that our mission reflects the direction of the sport as a whole,” USA Gymnastics Board Chair John Deary said. “We will fundraise and invest in supporting programs where the gymnastics community and athletic achievement thrive together.”
