Top Fundraising USA Gymnastics Gym goes for the Gold for Kids
Morris, NJ (September
12,2009) - Northern Elite Gymnasts participate in the Tyson Fitness Challenge to Benefit Children’s Miracle Network is
happening in Morris, New Jersey! Flanders, NJ – Saturday, September 12 Northern Elite Gymnastics and Cheer will present, “Miracles: A Benefit Spectacular for Children’s Miracle Network” as a part of the Tyson Fitness Challenge. Join Northern Elite Gymnastics and Cheer for a $10 donation on Saturday, September 12 at 4 p.m. to become a part of this initiative. The Flanders, NJ gym participated in the Tyson Fitness Challenge for the very first time last year and became the fourth highest fundraising gym in the entire country. What’s more, they yielded the #1 and #3 individual fundraisers in the entire country. Emma Timblin raised more money for Children’s Miracle Network than any participant in the entire country, and her teammate Mary Kate Cacchione was only two spots behind her. As a reward, they each received round-trip airfare for two to the Tyson American Cup, including VIP passes to the event and a one night stay in the host hotel. But if you ask Emma Timblin what her favorite memory was from participating in the Tyson Fitness Challenge, she never mentions the prizes. “Knowing how many children and families I am helping with these donations,” she replied instead. “It was also a lot of fun!” Last year, the team visited the local Children’s Miracle Network hospital, PSE&G Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick and performed for the patients. It struck a chord with the coaches and gymnasts alike. They quickly became the highest fundraising gym in the Metro New York area and the fourth highest fundraising in the entire nation. These athletes took great pride in giving to their community. They proudly represented Northern Elite and what the program stands for. Raising champions for life. Giving back to the community is important to the gym, says coach Sergio Estrada. “We feel it’s very important to nurture the notion of giving back,” said Estrada. “Being involved with the Tyson Fitness Challenge and being able to use our sport to entertain or to raise money for a good cause is one of the best ways we can help.” The Tyson Fitness Challenge is a nationwide fitness initiative that encourages physical fitness through fun activity with an emphasis on strength training, cardiovascular exercise, flexibility and good nutrition. All around the country gymnastics centers are participating in various activities to celebrate the Tyson Fitness Challenge and raise money for Children’s Miracle Network. Since partnering in 2001, USA Gymnastics and its gym clubs across the country have raised more than $1 million for Children’s Miracle Network through a variety of activities.. This event
will take place in Morris County on September
12,2009 at 180 Gold Mine Road, Flanders, NJ.

 This was recorded outside my home at 1:30 AM June 12, 2009. I'm not sure what kind of birds they are, but they sure are vocal. It is unusual here in New Jersey for birds to be so active in the very early hours. I thought it would be fun to capture
