For 30 years, the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation (WHGF) has provided free and low-cost gymnastics opportunities to nearly 30,000 underserved youth in Harlem and Detroit, using sport as a pathway to confidence, discipline, leadership, and lifelong success.

The 30th Anniversary Benefit will celebrate three decades of impact, honoring the thousands of young people and families served, as well as the coaches, partners, and supporters who have helped make this work possible. The evening will also raise critical funds to ensure future generations have access to the transformative power of gymnastics.

The event will bring together leaders from sports, business, media, philanthropy, and the gymnastics community, along with Olympians and sports champions, to celebrate this year's honorees: Herbert Berger, Li Li Leung, Geoffrey Canada, and Asta & Ida Lowe, whose leadership, partnership, and commitment have advanced opportunity and access through sport.

Founded in 1996 by Wendy Hilliard, a USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame athlete and the first Black athlete to represent the United States internationally in rhythmic gymnastics, WHGF was created to ensure that all young people, regardless of income or background, have access to the life-changing benefits of gymnastics.
