2012 effort raises total donation to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to $1.8 million

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The wildly successful "Turn the World Upside Down" initiative to celebrate this year's National Gymnastics Day yielded $121,890 to bring the USA Gymnastics community's donations to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to more than $1.8 million since 2001. Nearly 44,000 gymnasts and fans nationwide, including cast members of the Kellogg's® Tour of Gymnastics Champions, joined together to turn upside down to celebrate USA Gymnastics' annual National Gymnastics Day by doing handstands at 1 p.m. ET on Sept. 22.

California Sports Center in San Jose, Calif., raised $37,431 to become the top-fundraising club, and the club's Lilly Anderson was the top individual fundraiser at $10,572.
