January 02, 2024 Save Lindenwood Gymnastics: Catelyn Orel Branson
What an episode this one was. It was filled with many emotions as the announcement of the Lindenwood Gymnastics program being cut after the 2024 season. The will power the gymnast possessed to go out and perform at their public intrasquad was a remarkable feat of courage that had Catelyn and her staff in disbelief. They had a choice to take time to process the news but yet they turned to the better in savoring the moment like it is going to be their last.
Lindenwood needs our support at this moment. We as a community can make pledges to help at least have a conversation with the powers to be to see this program get another chance at life in the future.
Below is how you can pledge. Lead by a leadership committee of parents, former athletes, and those who love Lindenwood and gymnastics. Check out the website to see how you can do your part to support if you feel led to do so.
