Sisters Annaliese and Christina Dragan, are 9 and 7 years old. They started attending Rhythmic Gymnastics classes when they were 6 at Irene School of Rhythmic Gymnastics. They are Romanian gymnasts by blood, but both born and raised in the U.S.
Both girls have had impressive results since they started taking part in competitions...they are gifted, talented and have both received several accolades. Annaliese is a 2014 National Champion. She is also the youngest girl to have participated in the National Youth Squad, being trained at an international and elite level, within various Olympic Centers all over the USA. Christina was selected to attend the USA Gymnastics “Future Stars” program.
Having talented, hard working, and competitive children in a sport, requires endless financial resources for a family. It becomes financially difficult to support not only one, but TWO great, potential Olympian athletes. The Dragan Family must participate in expensive competitions requiring travel, training fees, and endless expenses associated with this dream. The parents of the Dragan sisters already both work two jobs each, 6-7 days a week. A very important part of a sports career is about the financial support…and this is where the Dragan sisters need your help!
