ULTIMATE WISH CLASSIC HISTORY
This is the 8th year Ultimate Gymnastics of Gurnee has sponsored a meet to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois.
Over the years, we have raised over $140,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Each wish costs an average of $5000, which means to date we’ve been able to help grant 28 wishes! These wishes range from trips to Disney, room makeovers, to a pony.
We’ve met many wonderful families and special children during the years. We’ve laughed with their triumphs and applauded their courage. It’s a humbling experience to be in the presence of such special people.
Each year we conduct a cartwheel-a-thon to help raise money as well. Last year, Maximum Gymnastics held their own fundraising event to contribute additional money to the cause.
We salute you,
Ultimate Gymnastics
