Gymnastics Leotards for Sale

Even though October has passed us by, we should still be thinking on how breast cancer affects many lives. In February 2009, the inaugural Pink Invitational - Gymnast Unite Competition was held to give awareness and benefit women with breast cancer (gymnastic leotards provided by GK). This competition was such an overwhelming success, the Pink Invitational, nonprofit organization was founded. This new nonprofit organization is to help further the development and fulfill outreach opportunities and objectives for those affected by breast cancer, focusing primarily on gymnasts and their families.

The Pink Invitational, nonprofit organization announced on Dec 7th that they will be offering three $1,000 grants to qualifying gymnasts, whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. This is all with the intent to ease the emotional and financial burden experienced as they battle the disease.

To get more information on the grant visit www.pinkinvitational.com, deadline for application submission is January 22, 2010

Don't forget, here at GK we do our best to support Breast Cancer Awareness with our Breast Cancer Awareness Leotard Collection. We offer 3 STOCK gymnastic leotards colored and jeweled to show your support for breast cancer awareness. What makes these gymnastics leotards even better is the fact that we will donate 5% of all sales for these leotards to the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund. So, STICK IT FOR THE CAUSE!!

Her passion for the Cause came to the attention of GK, and began our line of Breast Cancer Awareness Leotards.

Statistically, a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes, and the American Cancer Society estimates that one in eight will contract the disease at some point in their lives.

That means of the 17 gymnasts on the Alabama roster, chances are at least two of them will someday be diagnosed.

That is one of the reasons breast cancer awareness and early detection has become a crusade for Coach Sarah Patterson, who has as many “Power of Pink” items in her office as trophies; possibly more.

“I’ve heard her say many times that winning championships is important, being involved in the lives of her student-athletes is really important, but life is about having an impact greater than just winning championships,” DCH Foundation vice-president Larry O’Neal said. “Life itself is a championship.”

The idea for the Pink Meet was born of a scare.

In 2004, Patterson was 48 and couldn’t pass her annual mammogram. With a suspicious result that warranted close observation, her checkups were accelerated to every three to six months.

Eventually, Patterson was declared clear of cancer, but during the time she spent in waiting rooms, she saw plenty of people who weren’t as fortunate or lacked the health plan her family enjoyed. She knew what they were going through after watching her husband and coaching partner David struggle with kidney cancer. He is a 12-year survivor, and his mother is a breast cancer survivor as well.

It was at the DCH Christmas tree lighting ceremony that Patterson first approached O’Neal with the “Power of Pink” idea. At first, she didn’t know what to think of the look on his face.

“Sarah, my daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks ago,” he finally said. “I think this is a great idea.”

So did Elite Sportswear, which donated pink leotards for the teams. GK Elite Sportswear's VP of Sales, Del Small, had a particular interest in this cause. His wife also had breast cancer. So he took a particular interest in this cause and has helped them ever since.

A little more than a month later, on Feb. 4, 2005, the first Pink Meet in collegiate history was held, with 13,299 fans watching Alabama defeat Auburn. The sequel against Florida set an SEC attendance record with 15,162 fans.
 

For over 30 years Gymnastics Champions have been competing at the Tyson American Cup. This event has become known as the most prestigious international gymnastics event in the United States! This year it is taking place on February 21st in Chicago, the hopeful site for the 2016 Summer Olympic  Games.  And GK will be there alongside USA Gymnastics with Leotards and apparel for Gymnasts.
 
As a fan watching you will be able to see the world's top gymnasts perform in beautiful gymnastics leotards. In fact, GK and adidas, working with USA-Gymnastics outfitted the entire US National Team in adidas gymnastics girls long sleeve leotards and men's leotards, comp shirts, shorts and pants.
 
Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics stated "We’re excited to host this event in the Chicago area to directly support Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympic Games. It’s the primary reason we’re in Chicago. We have not been in Chicago in a long time with an event of this magnitude and we have received a lot of support from Chicago 2016, World Sport Chicago and the entire gymnastics community..."

• Nastia Liukin- Gold Medal Collection
  • “Each garment has been inspired by something near and dear to me,” stated Nastia Liukin when asked about her gymnastics leotard collection. “Some represent my achievements in Beijing. Others represent my desire to inspire every gymnast who wears them to always give their sport their very best efforts.  With 100% effort, you can always be proud of your accomplishments.  I hope you enjoy this first gymnastics leotards collection in the new Nastia Liukin Signature Series.”

• Peace, Love, Shawn Johnson Collection
  • 'When I was told about the "one world, one dream" motto at the Olympics, I wanted to continue that theme by incorporating my favorite symbol, the peace sign, into the line,” stated  Shawn Johnson. “My new collection has been so much fun to make with GK and now I'm excited I can share it with all of you.”
