The Iron Cross Foundation is currently accepting tax deductable
donations to support the hopes and dreams of young male gymnasts.
The Iron Cross Foundation (ICF) is the brain child of Logan Melander—a
14 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. (For the record, Logan recovered from his
injury and qualified to USA-Gymnastics National Championships and
also became the 2007 YMCA Men’s National Champion.)
Logan has worked hard to develop his vision for a foundation that
will provide opportunities for all boys who have a passion for
gymnastics to participate in the sport that has already taught him
so much. He hopes that through their own experiences with
gymnastics, others boys will learn patience, discipline, and respect
– and find their own ways to support others and give back to their
community.
There are many ways that you can assist Logan to make the Mission
Statement of the foundation more than words on paper. Your financial
gift will help make it possible to provide scholarships for young
athletes who, without financial support, would not be able to train,
buy uniforms, pay for competitions, or travel to meets. Your
donations will also support the development of web resources that
provide athletes with an essential social support network and their
families with important educational resources.
ALL amounts are gladly accepted. You choose the
donation amount and every dollar helps the cause! Click one of the
