When a young LaDonna was introduced to Rick Snow, a handsome police officer at Fresno State, it was practically love at first sight. A little bit of dating and a shiny diamond later and there was a wedding to plan. LaDonna’s friends joked that when she had children they would be little Snowflakes.

And how do they compare to the Jr. Olympic program your gymnast is in now?
Surprisingly, college gymnastics is closer to Jr. Olympics than you’d think. And the elite level gymnastics is very different from both.
Gymnastics Unlimited Benefit with Snowflake Designs
On the morning of April 24, 2023, Gymnastics Unlimited in Jacksonville, FL suffered a huge loss. The gym burned to the ground, the building and everything inside was a total loss. This tragedy took away a “safe place,” a second home to so many gymnasts over the years had been destroyed overnight.
To help Gymnastics Unlimited raise funds to rebuild the gym, Snowflake Designs created a GU Benefit leotard and t-shirt where all profits were donated
