A world-class acrobatic training organization based in Chicago, the Jesse White Tumbling Team has performed at business and sporting events since 1959. The organization teaches youth between the ages of six and 16 an array of tumbling and acrobatic skills. In addition to this physical training, the Jesse White Tumbling Team requires that participants maintain a C average in their academic studies. Several times each semester, students must present their report cards, and if their grades drop below this average, they are required to participate in a tutoring program. The Jesse White Tumbling Team offers its own in-house tutoring program for team members. In 2000, the team also implemented its Scholars Program, which not only awards academic scholarships, but also provides college admissions and financial aid counseling and helps coordinate visits to various colleges and universities.

About the author: A community leader and humanitarian, Perry Mandera currently serves on the Jesse White Tumbling Team's Board of Directors. Mandera also operates The Custom Companies, Inc., a full-service transportation firm.
