We have some disappointing news. Unfortunately, the new Memorial Day leotards and shirts that were ordered for the parade have been delayed in shipping and will not arrive Tuesday. We know many of you were excited to receive them, and we share your frustration. We placed the order with the expectation that it would arrive in time for Monday’s parade and are very disappointed that it will not.
For the parade, please have your athlete wear their exhibition attire from previous years. If your athlete does not have previous exhibition attire, please reach out and we will do our best to help find a solution.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s understanding and flexibility. We are working with the supplier regarding the delay and will distribute the new items as soon as they arrive.
Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to representing Wildcard together on Monday! 💜💙
BOYS’ & GIRLS’ TEAM, FAST TRACK, DRAGONFLIES & GOLD BUGS
Parade Attire: Tennis shoes with socks, (ideally, black) stretchy winter gloves to protect hands from the road, and the New Memorial Day Leo/Merch or Wildcard Exhibition leotard. We know not everyone has the exhibition leo, but there are some sizes available in our pro shop and a VERY limited supply of Memorial Day Merch available. If nothing else, please wear purple or Wildcard apparel. Remember a DISPOSABLE water bottle with Sport Top (to pass) and sunscreen. You can wear red, white and blue gear but don’t bring a ton of extra things with because there will be limited spaces to carry extra items. *Be prepared for the weather!!
Parade Date: Monday, May 25th
Parade Start Time: 10:30am
Reporting Time: 8:30am -9:15am
(Streets will close shortly after and you will be unable to get through)
Reporting Location: Elm Grove Village Park
Drop Off Locations:
All drop offs before the parade will be at Elm Grove Village Park. You must drive North to South on Legion Drive. There are two drop off locations.The first location is at the footbridge located at the intersection of Legion and Elmhurst. There will be a large “DROP OFF HERE” sign and Junior Guild Volunteers in neon safety vests to help direct you or your child to the appropriate staging area. This is a great place to drop off young parade participants! There is NO PARKING or PROLONGED STOPPING near the footbridge. We will try to have older gymnasts or parents to help walk kids to the spot. **Our staging area is RED P2.** We usually have a shade tent so look for that. This is probably the best drop off spot.
As in the past, the 1.2 mile parade route will begin at the Village Park and end at Elm Grove Road and Wall Street.
Pick up– please plan to pick up your gymnast near the BMO Harris at the end of the route (Behind/Kitty Corner) from Sendiks. Please be prompt. I would park your vehicle somewhere near there so gymnasts don’t need to walk all the way back to the parade start.
We could use about 4-5 parents to help with waters and brochures and rounding up children. Let Amy know if you can help! You must be dressed in Wildcard Apparel.
Wildcard families, the Spring Splash fundraiser is about more than just equipment. It is about helping keep our athletes safe while they train and build new skills.
Our Spring Splash fundraiser is raising money for a new handstand trainer for the gym. This training tool helps athletes safely work on handstands, shaping, strength, and progressions while building confidence and proper technique.
You do not have to take the plunge or even attend the event to support the fundraiser. Anyone can donate, and every dollar helps support our athletes and their training.
Thank you for always showing up for our Wildcard kids.
Get ready… our 3rd Annual Spring Splash Fundraiser is almost here!
Join us on May 16th at 2:00 PM for one of our favorite events of the year. Spring Splash is a polar plunge–style event, where participants take the plunge to support our athletes and our program. This year’s splash will take place in the Gleasons’ brand new 24-foot round, 52-inch deep pool, making it an even more exciting experience for everyone involved.
As always, we’re bringing back one of our favorite incentives. For every $100 raised, you’ll earn one entry into a drawing for a chance to design your very own custom leotard or t-shirt. If you’ve ever dreamed of creating a leo or seeing your design come to life on a team shirt, this is your opportunity!
And the fun doesn’t stop once you dry off. After the plunge, we’ll have food, fun, and games so everyone can warm up, hang out, and celebrate together.
We are so grateful for the continued support from our community. Whether you’ve participated before or are thinking about joining for the first time, we would love to have you be part of it.
So proud doesn’t even begin to cover how we feel after this weekend in Onalaska, Wisconsin. Our Wildcard Gymnastics athletes showed heart, determination, and true team spirit at State Meet, and it was incredible to watch.
