USA Today Ad

Posted: 06.30.2008

USA Gymnastics will run an eight page advertiesment in USA Today the first Friday of the Olympic Games.  The ad is based on grassroot gymnastics with a girl walking on a curb with a balance beam below and says something like "Life needs balance".  The back cover has a boy hanging from a tree with rings below and says "Life needs strength".  There are ads from some of the national sponsors inside, but the middle pages will list all USA Gymnastics member clubs and their phone numbers.  Your club must be a member club by July 15th to make the ad.  You can not get this kind of advertisement anywhere for this price!  Become a member club today!
