Also, a tremendously generous donation by Susan Tyler has provided such a great boost to the fund drive that we shall be able to go ahead and purchase the bars very very soon!

8/27/99 - The Team UZB Fan Club Internationale is trying to raise funds and seeking donations to buy a new set of uneven bars for the gymnasium at the Uzbekistan National Training Centre in Tashkent .

Presently, the only set of uneven bars that they have are in severely dilapidated and potentially dangerous condition. To see more and read about the overall conditions at the training center, visit the 'Help Team UZB' section of this website. There is also a small article by John Crumlish on page 26 of the August/September 1999 issue of International Gymnast magazine further detailing the financial and training woes of Team UZB.

Our target is a set of Spieth Anderson Superwide Uneven Bars(see below). Spieth Anderson representative Lynn Meyer has given us a quote of $1,920 + $714 for shipping to UZB for a total of $2634.00. Unfortunately, US donations made to this drive are not tax deductible, but any amount would help.

This is our objective!
