Vote for TGA in the FASTSIGNS MetamorphoSIGN Contest

Screen shot 2011-08-22 at 1.57.16 PM

Please vote for Team Gymnastics Academy in the FASTSIGNS MetamorphoSIGN Contest. Due to a limited budget and complicated city regulations and requirements regarding signage, we currently do not have a highly visible sign to help potential customers and aspiring gymnasts find our tucked away location.

TGA would love to be MetamorphoSIGNed in order to gain more exposure and visibility. It would be valuable to the entire business area. A new visual makeover could help TGA stand out, allowing more children to learn about the fun activities offered at TGA.

How to Vote:

1. Go to www.fastsigns/contest

2. Scroll through our entries to #583

3. Click MORPH IT

4. Click the SHARE tab below

5. Share the contest via any of the below networks, or just email to your friends. Don’t forget to tell people to vote for #583 – Team Gymnastics Academy!

For more instructions on voting and how you can spread the word, check here. You can vote once each day, and each vote enters you into a weekly drawing for one of six instant prizes ($50 American Express gift cards). Votes casted are not viewable. The winner with the most votes will be announced September 23.

TGA participates in St. Jude Fitness Challenge Fundraiser in memory of Zowie Kile

On Saturday, August 13, TGA gymnasts participated in a Workout for St. Jude “Fitness Challenge” Fundraiser in memory of Zowie Kile (January 8, 2004 – August 4, 2011).

The goal of the fundraiser was to raise money that will help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital find new treatments for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. The gymnasts raised funds by asking for contributions for doing the most that they could do in sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups, headstands and walking on their hands.

To date, we have raised $800. Anyone can contribute by sending a check to TGA or by donating to the event here.

Nothing Compares: TGA tumbles in the Iowa State Fair Parade

Yesterday we continued our annual tradition of walking in the Iowa State Fair Parade in downtown Des Moines, along with an estimated 200 floats, animals, vehicles, novelty and performance groups. The parade kicked off at the State Capital Complex, and we tumbled our way west on Grand Avenue to 13th Street in the Western Gateway. We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather this year. Thanks to all of the gymnasts, parents, coaches and families that came out to support us. We had a blast! Check out some photos from the event below.
