Pink Invitational
February 23-25, 2024
Be a part of the Largest Gymnastics Fundraising Event in the US
Presented by
The Pink Invitational is a three-day gymnastics competition featuring over 4,000 athletes from local and national USA Gymnastics teams. What makes the Pink Invitational a unique and inspiring experience is that these gymnasts find new and fun ways to promote solidarity and display their determination to care for women and families affected by breast and ovarian cancers. All participants receive and compete in a special, one-of-a-kind competition leotard created by GK Elite Sportswear, sending a message of unity, hope and love. Our guests will also enjoy food concession, celebrity gymnast events, and vendors offering gifts, apparel, and educational information.
*Please note: There will not be an NCAA meet in 2023.
100% of the Pink Invitational profits benefit the Unite for HER Wellness Program, supporting breast cancer and ovarian cancer patients nationwide.
