2007 APPAREL FUND SPONSORSHIP

Help support our Region 4 athletes at J.O. Nationals! Our apparel fund helps pay for outfitting our level 9 & 10 athletes when they compete at their national championships.

This year the region will award special recognition pins to everyone that donates $100 to the apparel fund. Donate $100 and you receive 1 pin. Donate $500 and you receive 5 pins. If every club that had an athlete at regionals buys a pin for each of their coaches our apparel fund will be in good shape. Naturally, we hope that every professional member in the region will want to support our athletes and our region by purchasing a pin. Bryon Hough is the Region 4 Capitol Development Director and is in charge of this project.

You can contact him and arrange to make your donation at 952 953 5128 or e-mail at bryon@tagsgym.com
