Shannon Miller is The Most Decorated American Gymnast in history. Since her Elite International debut in 1990, her mark of 7 Olympic and 9 World Championship Medals ranks as the most among any other American man or women. At the '96 Olympic Games, she won Team Gold and again made history by winning the only Gold Medal ever for an American on the Balance Beam.

Her success has been well noted by her induction in to 5 Halls of Fame including those of the United States Olympic, International Gymnastics and USA Gymnastics organizations. She was also recently named as the top female athlete in Oklahoma history, and #5 overall.

Shannon’s formal education includes a B.B.A. in Marketing and Entrepreneurship from the University of Houston and, in 2007 a law degree from Boston College School of Law. 
Professionally, Shannon is a sought after professional speaker on topics such as health and fitness, the benefits of moderation in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, motivation and what it takes to succeed. In addition, her broadcasting career is most notably anchored with her hosting of “Gymnastics 360 with Shannon Miller” on Comcast and commentating gymnastics at every level including the 2004 Olympic Games for NBC’s HDTV coverage.

It is this background that has laid the groundwork for The Shannon Miller Foundation, and its’ goal of fighting childhood obesity. Shannon has always had a passion for health and fitness, as well as helping children and adults enjoy healthy lifestyles.

In fact, her leadership in this area is widely recognized. In 2007, Shannon was appointed by Governor Charlie Crist of Florida as Co-Chair of the Governor’s Physical Fitness Council.

Shannon feels passionately that an increased awareness and education of the current state of childhood obesity in the United States, and it’s short and long term effects, will create a brighter future for our youth and our Country.

 

Shannon Miller Foundation

AMERICA’S MOST DECORATED GYMNAST, SHANNON MILLER, AIMS TO BRING AWARENESS TO CHILDHOOD OBESITY.

Shannon Miller recently announced the formation of the Shannon Miller Foundation, which is dedicated to fighting childhood obesity. Today, an estimated one third of all children in the United States are overweight, while the occurrence of obesity has more than quadrupled in the last 25 years. This epidemic leads to life threatening issues such as heart disease, asthma, hypertension and type II diabetes. Through education and awareness of the health risks associated with this disease Shannon strives to make a positive impact on children’s health.

The Shannon Miller Foundation gives children the opportunity to be physically active, and gain greater nutritional knowledge. Through selected programs, these children will learn why it is important and fun to be live a healthy lifestyle and why it is crucial to fuel their bodies with good foods while helping build self-confidence through individual and shared successes.

The Shannon Miller Foundation is a 501c3. Funds to support this Foundation are raised through corporate and personal contributions, as well as special events.
