June Gymformation
Oh, what a night! 85 of our fabulous athletes and families joined us to celebrate and showcase the launch of our new gymnastics club! Thank you to our PGA community for pulling together the event, there are too many of you to individually name, but you made it a truly special night for our girls.
A special thank you to Leah and Olena for their event styling, and for introducing us all to amazing event planner Lucy Ella Event Hire who created our flower wall, balloon hoops, and much, much more. A big thank you also to Sam and Candy for designing our invitations and certificates, to the PFG for sponsoring the event and finally, to our anonymous donors - you know who you are, thank you
