Plum Practicewear, in Partnership with JOGA, Awards Gymnast Jessica Brady a $750 Gymnastics Scholarship
Through this Exclusive Partnership, Plum Practicewear Continues its Commitment to Empowering Positivity and Giving Back
Plum Practicewear, in partnership with Jersey Optional Gymnastics Association (JOGA), is proud to announce Jessica Brady of Connections Gymnastics as the proud winner of the 2019 Gymnastics Scholarship.
Recognized as a “super nice kid who doesn’t spend a lot of time sitting still” Jessica Brady excels as both a JOGA Level 2 competitive gymnast and soccer player for her high school, Steinhart-Hamilton East. She practices gymnastics at Connections Gymnastics School in Robbinsville Township, New Jersey. Now, as a graduating high school senior, she plans to continue her education at the University of Delaware, majoring in Health Behavior Science.
“This sport has given me a sense of individuality and has helped me discover who I want to be,” says Jessica, who started gymnastics at just 4 years old. “I believe gymnastics has given me a huge boost in confidence which has helped me be successful in school and in life in general. Gymnastics has also taught me so much more… including work ethic, time management, and commitment.”
As an official sponsor of JOGA, Plum Practicewear has continued to live up to its promise to embrace each gymnast, develop a personal connection, and support each athlete on her journey. Part of the Plum Practicewear commitment is a $750 donation to the JOGA annual academic scholarship fund.
Every year, JOGA awards two $500 scholarships to qualified, graduating seniors. With Plum onboard, a third scholarship is available at the amount of $750.
“Plum Practicewear is honored and proud to team up with JOGA along with its league of independent gymnastics clubs and their 1,100-plus gymnasts from across New Jersey who are devoted to the sport,” said Plum Practicewear Partner and Vice President of Marketing Debra Rizzi. “Through this exciting partnership, we are given yet another opportunity to celebrate our commitment to the sport that we are deeply involved in and love, and also impact student-athletes directly.”
Plum was founded to provide colorful, comfortable, and affordable leotards for the everyday gymnast. As part of the JOGA partnership, Plum has the ability to continue to spread its #PracticePerfect message through communications with the JOGA community. JOGA gyms and gymnasts will receive exclusive offers and announcements from the brand throughout the year.
“Plum Practicewear shares the same core values and love of the sport as the JOGA community and that’s why we are thrilled to welcome them to the JOGA family,” said JOGA State Director Rebecca Onuska. “Plum plays an integral role in not only connecting with our gymnasts, but also in encouraging them and supporting them to be their personal best – both inside and outside of the gym.”
