WEEK 2+ RANKINGS AND NOTES

Lindenwood has not been SAVED

When the #SaveLindenwoodGymnastics mission started, it was understood by the leaders and a few others who have been deeply involved, that Lindenwood University had outlined in its’ press release when they cut programs, “no donor support would change this outcome”. Today, that message was re-enforced to us that the decision to cut the Lindenwood Gymnastics program will not be re-considered.  …

Over $450,000 was pledged by over 325 different parties. …

As we move forward, we ask three things:  

1) Those that that did pledge, please consider directing the funds you were willing to contribute to our mission, to a gymnast or gym family in need. …

2) Please support Team 12, their parents, Coach Catelyn Branson and her staff. The Lions are off to an absolutely amazing start to their season. Let’s cheer them on as they pursue another national championship.

3) Support the school. While disappointed with this news, Lindenwood provided an amazing education and experience for us all.
