Gold Medal Greetings (GMG) announces the launch of a new service offering custom telephone greetings from some of the most famous and decorated names in the sport of gymnastics. Customers can order a pre-recorded message from a gymnastics celebrity as a gift to be delivered via telephone on the day and time of their selection.

World-class athletes who have triumphed at the highest levels of the sport are included in the program. Gold Medal Greetings has signed a world-class roster of charter athletes including Olympic Champions Shawn Johnson, Shannon Miller, Carly Patterson and Paul Hamm, Olympic medalist Jonathan Horton, World Champion and Olympian Chellsie Memmel, and three-time Olympian Blaine Wilson.

In addition to standard messages, a CustomCall option will also be available for customers to personalize the celebrity greeting with a personal message. Greetings delivered in the U.S. are $8.99 and $9.99 for International and CustomCalls. A portion from each order goes to the charity of the athlete's choosing.

“Gold Medal Greetings helps spark the celebration of favorite days and occasions throughout the year,” said Tanya Jacoby, spokesperson for Gold Medal Greetings. “Imagine when a young gymnast gets a good luck greeting from one of their favorite gymnasts just before a meet – talk about a boost of motivation! And we're excited to offer this one-of-a-kind gift just in time for the holidays!”

Greeting options from the celebrities that can be ordered include: Happy Birthday, Good Luck, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Get Well, Happy Mother's Day, Happy Father's Day, Happy Valentine's Day or Happy Anniversary.

Gold Medal Greetings has also partnered with Atlanta-based Inside Publications as the exclusive marketing launch partner. Inside Publications produces Inside Gymnastics magazine and Inside Cheerleading magazine along with the websites for both titles. The two companies will jointly promote the services.

“We are extremely excited to be a part of the launch of Gold Medal Greetings,” said Shane Womack, Director of Marketing for Inside Publications. “Kids across the country look up to these athletes and will be thrilled to receive a phone call from a role model. One of the things that most appealed to us in being involved with Gold Medal Greetings is the fact that a portion of the revenue from every call is donated to the gymnasts' charity of choice. It's a great message not only now during the holiday season, but throughout the year.”
