GBC Fundraisers

 << Back to GBC Home Page

The GBC holds several fund raisers throughout the year to help team families raise money to help offset costs associated with competitive gymnasts.  Each fund raiser has a chair person who coordinates the fund raiser and distributes fees back to the participating families.  Previous fund raisers have included wreath sales, gift-wrapping, Mismo hosted meets and fireworks.  The firework stand has not been operative for the past couple of years due to lack of leadership and lack of optimal location.  The GBC is looking for someone to take over this fund raiser as it is a great way to earn income.  We always welcome any comments and suggestions!

Mismo Magical Meet

Each year Mismo hosts the Mismo Magical Meet (MMM) for both boy and girl gymnasts.  This is a huge money maker for the GBC and thus every family is expected to help with the meet.  The GBC earns funds through the entrance fees, concession and raffle/auction sales.  Most of the funds are then applied toward competition fees the following season.  A small portion of those funds are kept to cover administrative costs of the GBC.  Each year the meet has grown larger and so have the profits!  However, it takes a lot of volunteers to run a successful meet.  Therefore, each family is expected to participate in the following:
 
  • Set-up OR tear-down for Mismo Magical Meet
  • Donate Items to Hospitality Suite, Concessions or Raffle Basket for Mismo Magical Meet
Volunteer to work at least one session during the Mismo Magical Meet
