Twistars USA Gymnastics Club, and the expansive outdoor fields of The Summit Sports and Ice Complex, provide the perfect venue for this event.
GymPalooza was created by John Geddert as a way of giving back to the families of the greater Lansing area and saying “thank you” to the entire Mid-Michigan community for their patronage and support of Twistars USA Gymnastics Club, especially for the support of their national and international caliber athletes over the past several years.
“The support for 2011 World Champion and 2014 Gold Medal Olympian, Jordyn Wieber was incredible. This event is just my way of saying thank you” – said John Geddert, 2012 USA Olympic Team Head Coach and owner of Twistars USA.
Local area businesses and organizations are sharing their support of GymPalooza. Great Lakes Bounce is providing the 10 of the giant inflatable bounce houses and obstacle courses for the event. “This business (Great Lakes Bounce) was started to support safe, fun and clean family entertainment, that is why we are glad to support GymPalooza in their effort to provide the Lansing area with a free family fun day” – said Bill Miksenak, owner.
Additional event sponsors include Zap Zone of Lansing with great prizes give-aways and PepsiCo of Lansing with some incredible prize give-aways you won’t want to miss. More event sponsors are being added every week.
