Our Mission
The Iron Cross Foundation (ICF) is dedicated to helping young men of all socio-economic backgrounds participate in the sport of gymnastics by providing financial aid, social support, and educational resources..
The ICF Story
The Iron Cross Foundation is the brain child of Logan Melander—a
16 year old, Level 10 gymnast. At the age of 12, Logan suffered an
injury that may have ended his gymnastics career. One of his
concerns as he struggled with a long and uncertain recovery process
was that if he never “made it” as a gymnast, he wouldn’t be able to
give back to his sport.
With the encouragement and support of his family and friends, Logan
chose to create this foundation instead of giving up his dreams.
Rather than quit, he worked with the adults in his life to create
the Iron Cross Foundation to ensure that all boys who want to pursue
their dreams of being competitive gymnasts have the opportunity to
do so.
(Logan recovered from his injury and qualified to USAG Nationals
and also became the YMCA National Champion.)
