Knight Eady Sports Group Announces

 2015 Alabama vs. Auburn Gymnastics Meet

Birmingham, Ala. – Knight Eady Sports Group has announced a neutral site gymnastics meet, Elevate, featuring the University of Alabama and Auburn University on March 8, 2015, at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Arena.

The meet, which is in addition to the SEC meet between Alabama and Auburn, will provide a championship caliber platform for the student-athletes.  The event will be staged on the podiums, which have historically only been used for the SEC and NCAA Championships.

“We are so excited to add an extra meet to our schedule this year and return to the BJCC to face the Auburn Tigers,” said Dana Duckworth, Head Gymnastics Coach at the University of Alabama. “The support and passion we experienced last year in Birmingham at both the Southeastern Conference and NCAA Championships was amazing and I can’t wait for this year’s team to have the chance to experience that environment.”

Additionally, Elevate has joined in a unique philanthropic partnership with the Ronald McDonald House of Alabama and Camp Smile-A-Mile.  These two outstanding organizations will receive recognition and proceeds through ticket sales, sponsorships, and in-venue promotions at this meet.

“I’m excited we’re able to use this competition to help benefit Camp Smile-A-Mile and the Ronald McDonald House,” said Jeff Graba, Head Gymnastics Coach at Auburn University.  “The Ronald McDonald House is very dear to my wife and I, as we basically lived at one for a while when my youngest daughter was born. Being able to help these charities, and at the same time compete in one of the best gymnastics competitions in the country, is a terrific opportunity for our young team!”
