PINK GOES VIRTUAL
It may be a whole NEW PINK! But, it is the SAME inspiring, dedicated and
enthusiastic community pouring love and support into this magical event!
Unite for HER is truly honored to present the 2021 Virtual Pink Invitational
~Gymnasts Unite~ hosted by the AJS Pancott Gymnastics National Training
Center. Pink has undergone quite a transformation this year, but because
of all of you and your resilience, your enthusiasm and your dedication, the
spirit and unity remain. Across the nation this weekend (and this past month),
you all are proudly wearing your one of a kind 2021 GK leotard (and mask)
honoring those affected by breast and ovarian cancer. This is not just another
leotard – it is a symbol of hope, strength, and resilience. And now more than
ever, our Unite for HER community needs your unwavering support. You have
risen to the challenge once again, transforming your home gyms into your
very own Pink Invitational. The spirit of community that we have experienced
the last 12 years at Pink is evident in all the work you’ve done leading up to
today, and we are humbled and grateful for your commitment to those we
serve.

BY HER SIDE NATIONWIDE
During a time of great change and uncertainty, Unite for HER re-invented its
programming to go national!
Because of your trust and support, Unite for HER has been able to rise
up during COVID without hesitation. With our community by our side, we
remained steady and acted swiftly to innovate and serve, delivering the
gifts of joy, hope, resources, therapies, education, and much-needed human
connection to more than 1,500 newly diagnosed breast and ovarian cancer
patients. All to the comfort of their homes, all via a digital platform and
innovative virtual experience. We experienced great change these past 11
months, but with that came a great opportunity to serve those in need around
the nation with an exciting new virtual model. Cancer does not stop during
a pandemic, and neither did Unite for HER, for our women needed us more
than ever. We will be forever united in love and empathy for those we serve,
and forever united with you, who continue to lift us up.
Year after year our Unite for HER partners stand by us and we would be
remiss to not acknowledge their loyalty to the Pink Invitational. Thank you to
AJS Pancott Gymnastics, GK Elite Sportswear, Mancino Mats, Acure Organics,
and the Pennsylvania Convention Center. We are once again thrilled to see
such tremendous support from the gymnastics community, and we are proud
to celebrate the thirteenth year of the Pink Invitational virtually with all of you.
Today is a new day…that the light has not even touched yet, and one that will
be remembered and cherished for how we made our women feel.

In the past 12 years the Above & Beyond Team Challenge has raised over
$1.1 million! This year, we have 31 gyms participating in this challenge.
When you stop to consider the compassion, hard work, and dedication that
has been so generously given by these gymnasts, parents, coaches, and
communities it is humbling. The fundraising support of the Above & Beyond
Team Challenge has enabled Unite for HER to grow their wellness programs
and provide valuable resources and grants to breast and ovarian cancer
patients.
The 10 teams with the highest donation amounts will receive a special award
provided by our event partner, Mancino Manufacturing. In addition, the top
fundraising team that raises $25,000 will receive Unite for HER’s hands-on
national programming to 25 women being treated at a local hospital. We
thanks our teams for their efforts and commitment to helping those affected
by breast and ovarian cancer.
This year, our Club Stick It! Sponsor, AJS Pancott Gymnastics, and a number
of our 2021 Pink Invitational participating teams are featured in the program.
