Gymnastics to Host “My Cause, My Ribbon” Meet Sunday

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale gymnastics team will host its "My Cause, My Ribbon" meet this Sunday at Lee Amphitheater as the Bulldogs take on Temple at 1:00 p.m.

Each Yale gymnast is supporting a cause they feel strongly about. They will wear a colored ribbon associated with the cause they are supporting. Informational material about the causes will be available at the meet as well.
