Rome Milan’s traveling museum of Gymnastics history

If you’ve seen Rome Milan’s collection at an American Gymnastics meet, you will remember him.

Rome is passionate:

I have a desire to educate young gymnasts of the evolution of the greatest sport on earth, Gymnastics.

For many years I have traveled to various gymnastics events around the country to display vintage equipment and historic pictures of the sport … in order to educate people.

Recently, I have been diagnosed with ALS. This has pushed me to complete the projects that I have began and to search for an opportunity to continue to promote these vintage Gymnastics Displays.

The campaign

… All expenses for travel, truck rental, signage, and purchases have been mostly on my own. Now with my diagnosis, it will be difficult to keep these displays going. I will need approximately $4000 to bring the display to National Gymnastics Congress in Rhode Island. Please help me bring the History and the evolution of our sport to the young athletes, so they can appreciate how our sport has evolved.
