Since 1996, the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation (WHGF) has provided free or low-cost gymnastics for over 25,000 urban youth.

Gymnastics is an expensive sport, yet with the support of the WHGF, beginners can learn gymnastics in a safe environment with top coaches. Those who are dedicated and determined will also be supported by the WHGF in their dreams of gymnastics to compete on the world stage. The WHGF has produced State, Regional, National, and International Champions. It has also produced 3 USA Gymnastics National Team Members and 2 World Championship competitors.

Located in Harlem and Detroit, no other gymnastics organization is designed to provide gymnastics to over 1,500 youth each year. Founded by USA Gymnastics Hall of Famer Wendy Hilliard, the WHGF staff and board represent the youth served—an "HBCU" of gymnastics.

Champion gymnasts have long supported the WHGF, and now you can, too! All donations will go directly to gymnastics scholarships so more urban youth can enjoy the gift of gymnastics, which can make a profound impact on their lives.

Help us with our mission to:

Provide opportunities to improve physical and emotional health through gymnastics for children of all ages in underserved communities.
