GK was honored to be able to attend the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation (WHGF) Third Annual Benefit in New York. This celebratory event showcased a beautiful presentation from the Wendy Hilliard Foundation Gymnastics Team Members, including artistic, T&T, and rhythmic styles, in their beautiful purple gymnastics apparel provided by GK. These athletes brought joyous tears across the room as they shared their talents at the event.

Located in Harlem, NYC, the WHGF is a non-profit organization that has served over 15,000 inner city youth by providing free weekly gymnastics classes to New York inner city youth. Their website states, "As the first African-American to represent the U.S. in rhythmic gymnastics, Wendy Hilliard's goal was to create a program that provided an opportunity for more minorities to experience her sport. After serving over 15,000 participants, the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation has established an incredible track record of providing quality programming for people of all ages and abilities in the sport of gymnastics." She has even taken her athletes to the National Championships and has had an athlete on the National Team.
GK is proud to sponsor this inspiring program and outfit the athletes in the most performance enhancing gymnastics leotards and competitive wear. We look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come!
GK. Choice of Champions.
