Maddie is a ninth-grade gymnast at Synergy Gymnastics in Malvern, PA. Gymnastics has been a huge part of her life—it’s taught her strength, confidence, and perseverance. Now, she’s decided to use the sport she loves to uplift young girls who may not have had the same opportunities.
For the past two years, Maddie has volunteered alongside her dad at Sow Good Now's Football GiveBack, an event that brings kids together through sports and community service. It was there that she first realized the power of giving back and how even small acts of kindness can make a big impact.
On April 27, Maddie and her teammates hosted 15 little girls from the St. Agnes Dorothy Day Center in West Chester for a special day of learning, fun, friendship, and philanthropy at the Synergy gym.
With the generous support of the Synergy gym owner, who donated the space, and the amazing coaches, who supervised the event, Maddie was able to put everything together to create a great day for these girls. Maddie raised close to $1,200 to cover transportation and bring the girls and their chaperones to the gym as well as provide lunch after. She also brought in the help of a generous community partner, GK Elite Sportswear, who donated leotards to each of the little girls so they could feel like real gymnasts when they stepped onto the floor!
Maddie and Synergy Gymnastics have committed to doing this event for the next four years, and based off of its first year, we are so excited to see how this GiveBack will grow!
