Wichita Gymnastics Booster Association (WGBA)
What is WGBA?
WGBA is not part of Wichita Gymnastics Club, Inc. The purpose of the Wichita Gymnastics Booster Association
is to help parents with the financial stress of the gymnastics season. Through the efforts of member parents, funds are raised
and added to a general fund and a member account which are then used to pay meet fees and some travel expenses. To be successful, we need the help of every parent and
gymnast. We need your help!
How is this accomplished?
The seasons' funds will be raised selling wrapping paper, candy bars, cookie dough, poinsettias, etc. The WGBA board
has set a budget to be raised for each season. Your participation can make this target more obtainable. There are two types of funds accounts: General Fund and Member account.
- WGBA Corner - Leotard Sales
- Annual Land of Oz Meet
- Program Ads
- Sally Foster Paper
- Candy Bar Sales
- Cookie Dough
- Poinsettias
- Board Member Service
How is the Budget Determined?
WGBA estimates the cost of the previous seasons and a slight mark up for inflation, then a level fee is determined.
Also in the budget are cost associated with running our home meet. These costs include awards, judges fees, equipment rental, building rental, etc.
How is the Budget Managed?
Monies earned by WGBA familes are deposited into the General Fund account. The account is divided in two parts: the General Fund and Member Accounts.
What are Level Fees?
Level fees are the cost of competition for your gymnast. Fees are determined by taking the costs of the previous year, factoring in a portion
of the general fund and dividing the total among the number of gymnasts in each level. Costs per level will vary in accordance with the expenses incurred at that level.
Level fees can be paid from the funds raised by you during fund raisers. This will allow for less out of pocket expense. In short, by participating in the WGBA fund raisers and adding to your Member Account, it is possible to greatly reduce your financial responsibility.
