This month USA Gymnastics sponsored the Boston Strong Classic at Algonquin Regional High School to support One Fund, a Boston non-profit organization. Boston Strong originated in an Emerson College dorm room with two students, Nicholas Reynolds and Chris Dobens, who chose not to stand by idly while runners in the Boston Marathon, and their families, were hurting. Together they came up with a Slogan that they would use to raise funds for the city, a slogan that took on a life of its own. Today, all sorts of groups raise money for One Fund using the slogan Boston Strong, and USA Gymnastics is no exception. This year USA gymnastics held the Boston Strong Classic in Northborough, MA in support of last year's disaster during the Boston Marathon.
As part of their efforts to raise funds for the city, USA Gymnastics asked GK to design and produce an official leotard for the meet, a Boston Strong leo. All profits from the sales of this leotard will be donated to One Fund. This was a great honor for us, and an excellent project to utilize our new Sublimation printing process. Our designer, Elaine Lai, created the graphic for this official leo, which features a gymnast leaping over the city of Boston, and the cause, Boston Strong, scripted on the front. The back of the leo features a pretty white swirly pattern, consistent with the pattern on the front of this blue tank leo, and a bold "B". A blue and white stripe embrace the top of the leo to represent USA Gymnastics. All leotards for the Boston Strong Classic were printed right here in our facility in Reading, PA. We think they turned out
awesome, and so do the girls featured on your left from 360 Gymnastics in Shirley, MA.
Michele Archer, co-owner of 360 Gymnastics says, "The event leotards looked great on each and every gymnast on the floor. The placement of the design really flattered every body type...Thanks GK!" Purchasing these leotards and participating in the Boston Strong Classic, gave the girls an opportunity to be champions, both on the mat and in their community. Thank you, Michele, for supporting such a promising cause.
