Our primary exempt purpose is to provide access to safe, structured, and inclusive movement -based programs that emphasize athletic development, discipline, confidence, and teamwork. We serve our community by offering recreational and competitive trampoline and tumbling opportunities, focusing on skill-building, sportsmanship, and personal achievement. We create an environment where participants-from beginners to advanced athletes-can thrive under the guidance of qualified coaches and caring mentors. Our programs are designed to be accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic background, and we actively seek to eliminate barriers to participation through scholarships, outreach initiatives, and partnerships with local schools and community organizations. Over the past year, our nonprofit trampoline and tumbling organization has made a meaningful impact in our community by providing high-quality athletic programming to over 350 children and 60 adults. Our programs, running 5 afternoons a week, have created a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where participants of all skill levels can develop physical fitness, build confidence, and cultivate lifelong skills through the disciplines of trampoline, tumbling, and gymnastics-based movement. Youth Programs: We served more than 350 children through a range of recreational and competitive trampoline and tumbling programs. Our structured classes focused on age-appropriate skill development, safety, and positive coaching. Participants progressed through individualized goals, learning coordination, strength, flexibility, and discipline. Many of these youth joined our competitive team, which participated in local and regional meets, giving them the opportunity to gain confidence and experience success in a supportive athletic environment. We also offered outreach classes in partnership with local schools and community centers, making gymnastics more accessible to underserved populations. Through scholarships and fee assistance, we ensured that financial hardship was never a barrier to participation. Adult Programs: In addition to our youth-focused work, we provided opportunities for 60 adults to engage in movement-based fitness and training. These included adult tumbling classes, trampoline fitness sessions, and open gym times designed for fun, exercise, and skill-building in a welcoming, non-judgmental space. For many adults, our programs offered a unique way to improve fitness and mobility, relieve stress, and connect socially. Community Impact and Education: Beyond physical training, our organization emphasized leadership, responsibility, and community service. We provided volunteer and mentoring opportunities for older youth and adults, encouraging them to assist in coaching younger athletes and helping with events. We also hosted workshops and clinics to educate athletes, coaches, and parents about topics such as injury prevention, mental resilience, and goal setting. We participated in community events, showcasing our athletes and their talents, and including families in the community in what we do giving them no cost opportunities to experience our sport first hand. Through these efforts, we have fostered a community built on mutual support, achievement, and inclusivity. Our programs have not only enhanced athletic performance but also contributed to the personal growth and well-being of every participant 0 80488 80488 Elizabeth Deugaw Director 5 0 0 0 Teri Avink Director 5 0 0 0 Caton Vance Director/design and marketing 10 0 0 0 Tamra Cypher Vice President/ Treasurer 40 19250 0 0 NIcholas Avink President / Secretary 40 29550 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MI Tamra Cypher 751 Evelyn St NE Grand Rapids MI 49505 6163276637 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 8060 8060 87981 87981 0 0 0 0 96041 96041 96041 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 96041 96041 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Competition entry fees
