During a family trip in December, 2019, Amy and Jocelyn Gannon were killed in a helicopter crash on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. Jocelyn's father and brother quickly took on the task of providing a legacy for Amy and Jocelyn amid their grief: For Amy's important economic justice work, and to share Jocelyn's devotion to photography and gymnastics. They do this by providing a scholarship for middle school students and awards for women entrepreneurs. Each year, Jocelyn's school in Madison, WI, awards the Jocelyn Gannon Spirit Award to an eighth grade student who shares Jocelyn's qualities of kindness, inclusion, courage, empowerment, and athletics.
Jocelyn embodied a visible, irrepressible joy and was genuinely kind and supportive to everyone she knew. She was smart, loving, and beautiful - inside and out.
This year's recipient of the Jocelyn Gannon award is Gymfinity team member, Hadley Condella. Hadley is a Level 8 gymnast that has been recognized for her spirit and leadership. We could not be more proud that that The Gannon Foundation has recognized Hadley as cut from the same cloth as Jocelyn.
