UIC pushing hard to engage public participation to show just how important gymnastics really is to all of us. A petition has been launched and there are still some signatures needed to push it thru.

It’s always a good idea to contact “REAL” print media in your area. Push to have them cover events, accomplishment, human-interest stories, etc. You never know when there might be a GREAT write-up from someone enthusiastic about contributing and sharing the POSITIVE points of our amazing sport.
