Glow With Purpose: How the Glowing Leotard Turns Gymnastics Into Giving
For Giving Tuesday, we’re spotlighting the Glowing Leotard, the 2025 Plum Positivity Design Content winner that supports HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, one leotard at a time.
At Plum, we believe your practice look should do two things. Help you train your best, and help your community, too.
Meet Glowing, a Plum Cares leotard designed by Mia, a 15-year-old gymnast from San Mateo, California and winner of our 2025 Plum Positivity Leo Design Contest. It’s a standout in our Midnight Prism collection, and it comes with real impact. Every purchase of the Plum Cares Glowing Leotard supports HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, helping people healing from breast cancer feel more like themselves again with post-surgical products, fittings, and emotional support.
This season, we’re wearing our heart right into practice.

Meet Mia, the Designer Behind Glowing
Glowing features flowing pink-hued waves and a bold racerback silhouette made to stay put through real practice, not just quick clips and photo moments. It’s the kind of leotard you throw on when you’re ready to lock in, hit your numbers, and still feel completely like you.
HERS Breast Cancer Foundation.
“I loved that the Plum Positivity contest was about giving back to communities, not just creating a cute leo. I chose HERS Breast Cancer Foundation because they support people through such a hard and scary time in their lives. Knowing that Glowing can help support breast cancer survivors makes it feel even more meaningful.”
— Mia, 15, Designer of Glowing
Then our product team did what they do best: bring a gymnast’s vision to life while keeping the story intact and the performance dialed in.
“When we saw Mia’s Glowing design, it immediately felt like Plum: bold, confident, and full of heart. Our job in Product Development is to translate a gymnast’s vision into something they can actually train in, something that fits beautifully, performs in the gym, and still carries that original story. With Glowing, we knew from day one that this was going to be a standout Plum Cares piece, and we changed almost nothing from her original design because it was already that strong.”
— John Mytschenko, VP of Product Development, Plum Practicewear

How Glowing Supports HERS Breast Cancer Foundation
Breast cancer does not end when surgery ends. Recovery can be physical, emotional, and expensive, and a lot of it happens quietly behind the scenes.
That’s why HERS matters. Every purchase of the Plum Cares Glowing Leotard supports HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, helping people healing from breast cancer access post-surgical products, fittings, and emotional support, regardless of ability to pay.
