About Us

Families working together for our gymnasts

The Booster Organization of Shenandoah Tumblers, Inc. (BOOST) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Virginia corporation dedicated to supporting the competitive gymnastics team at Shenandoah Tumblers.

BOOST is made up of parents and families of competitive team gymnasts who work together to support our athletes. Through fundraising, BOOST helps offset eligible competition-related expenses and provides financial support for the team throughout the season.

Our members also make Shenandoah Tumblers' hosted meets and team activities possible by volunteering their time and talents. BOOST meets regularly during the competitive season to coordinate fundraising and volunteers, manage finances, and make decisions that support the team.
