The Summit Gymnastics Artistic Boys Gymnastics Team competed at the Tacoma Convention Center in the Charity Choice Invitational on February 8-10.

The motto for this meet is “Together We Make a Difference!” Each participating gym chooses a charity, and based on a point system, the charities chosen by the three top gyms get money donated directly to their cause.

Over 1,500 athletes from fifty-three gyms and six different states participated. The Summit boys had a great showing and by competing, helped contribute to the $8,000 donated to the Auburn Humane Society, Seattle Children’s Hospital and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
