The Philadelphia Boys Gymnastics Parents’ Association contributes to the continued successful development of the gymnastics participants and team program of the Philadelphia Boys’ Gymnastics team by providing moral support, and by raising funds to defray expenses incurred by the team. The PBGPA funds competition scholarships for every boy through its fund-raising efforts. Any PBG athlete who wants to compete, regardless of need, is provided financial help for some of the meets on the schedule. There is a scholarship fund available for parents who are in need of assistance. This organization will specifically not become involved in coaching-related details and decisions, which are the responsibility of the coaching staff. In order for a boy to compete on the Philadelphia Boys’ Gymnastics team, the parent(s) of the gymnast must belong to the Philadelphia Boys’ Gymnastics Team Parents’ Association and help in fund-raising.
