In 2011 Karen Pleasants, Diane Thompson and Jessica Harris created and hosted the first Gala women’s gymnastics competition in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville, NC.  The three partners saw an opportunity to put on a first-class women’s gymnastics competition in the fun and eclectic setting of Asheville.

Since then, the Gala has continued to grow each year and we are committed to making each Gala a fun and memorable experience for all participants, coaches, volunteers and spectators.
