ABOUT FLIPPING FOR PHILANTHROPY

Flipping for Philanthropy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating life-changing experiences for young athletes, families, and communities through the power of gymnastics, mentorship, and giving back.

Founded by LR Productions, Just Imagine partners with Olympic and elite-level gymnasts to host unique fundraising events at gyms across the country. These events are designed to inspire the next generation while raising meaningful funds for important causes. Through appearances, clinics, and interactive experiences, athletes connect directly with role models they admire—building confidence, work ethic, and lifelong memories.

At the same time, each event supports a local or national charity, allowing host gyms and their communities to make a real impact beyond the sport.

Our Mission

To inspire, uplift, and give back—using the platform of gymnastics to create unforgettable experiences while supporting causes that matter.

What We Do

• Host fundraising events with Olympic & NCAA gymnasts

• Partner with gymnastics clubs nationwide

• Support charitable organizations through event proceeds

• Create meaningful athlete-to-athlete connections

Why It Matters

We believe in more than just sport—we believe in using influence to make a difference. Every event is an opportunity to inspire a child, support a cause, and strengthen a community.

2026 Hero Invite Details 

We’re excited to have everyone join us for our Hero Invite this year. Our goal is to acknowledge and celebrate the heroes we encounter everyday, including the hero we find in ourselves! Duffels for Kids is our featured hero project again this year. Like last year, we will be supporting the program with an admissions promotion. Below are details for spectators’ planning. Together with Duffels for Kids parent organization, Faith Hope and Love, we would love to have you share this information with your athlete’s families.

Location: Horlick High School 

Horlick is our neighbor just up the street. This competition is hosted in their fieldhouse, off-site from our facility. Entrance to the site will be off Rapids Drive with the driveway just past the fenced athletic field and entrance doors right by the driveway entrance. Spectator parking can be found near the rear of the building, amongst the outdoor fields with no fee. 

Everything at the meet will be CASH ONLY, so please come prepared. 

Admission: Adults (13-64) $20, Children (5-12) $15, Seniors (65+) $15 

Doors will be open for the first session of each day at 7:30 am. Before 7:30 am, admission will not be available. 

Admissions Promotion for 2026: A donation of a children’s book AND hygiene product (toothbrush & toothpaste, deodorant, etc.) receives $3 off each adult admission per set of items. Both items must be present and collected at the admission table. Each donation set will receive $3 off each adult admission. For example: 2 sticks of deodorant and 2 kids books is $3 off dad’s admission and $3 off grandma’s admission for a total of $6 off of adult admission. 1 of each item is $3 off Aunt Jane’s admission. Donations received support the Duffels for Kids project through Faith Hope and Love. They will be packed in bags for foster children across all counties of Wisconsin leaving their homes quickly during emergency situations. 

Concessions, shoutouts, and some apparel will be available for purchase at the meet site. Again, cash only. 

About Duffels for Kids Project 

This project is through local Racine charity Faith Hope and Love. You can learn more about them and this project at https://fhlforkids.org/duffels-kids. Oftentimes children leaving emergency situations aren’t able to take much, if anything, with them on their way to foster care. We’re stocking these bags for those initial responders to pass along to foster kids across the state of Wisconsin, so they have something to move with them to the next place. 

From the project website: 

“The Story of the Duffel In 2013, we learned a heartbreaking truth: children entering the foster care system were often given only five minutes to gather their belongings, and those belongings were placed in a black trash bag. 

We knew these children deserved better. We believe that a duffel bag is more than just a place to put clothes-it’s a message of dignity, comfort, and worth. 

Duffels for Kids: Restoring Dignity Since 2013 No child should face a crisis with a trash bag. We provide brand-new, age-specific duffel bags to children from newborn to age 17, ensuring they have comfort and essentials during their most difficult transitions. 

11+ Years of Impact: Serving Wisconsin families since 2013. 

Statewide Reach: Proudly supporting children in all 72 Wisconsin counties. 

Collaborative Care: Partnering with domestic abuse shelters, homeless shelters, local schools, and first responders. More Than a Bag: Every duffel is packed with age-specific essentials designed to provide immediate comfort.” 

Thanks for joining us this year!
