The Season
Ten meets, ten causes
During the 2022 season, Megan competed to bring awareness to a unique cause at each meet. Her go-to competition hairstyle — double braids and two tiny bows — changed with every competition so spectators could read the cause before the routine began.
Ten causes were selected for the season, all close to Megan’s heart. The table below pairs each 2022 meet with the cause represented by the bows worn that weekend.

| 2022 NCAA Gymnastics Season — meet 1 | Cause no. 1 |
| 2022 NCAA Gymnastics Season — meet 2 | Cause no. 2 |
| 2022 NCAA Gymnastics Season — meet 3 | Cause no. 3 |

The causes behind the schedule
The names of the ten organizations and causes represented during the 2022 season are listed in the Charity Beneficiaries section, along with details on how the Tiny Bow Pack supported them.
Megan Skaggs is a collegiate gymnast whose official site holds the record of her journey, her projects, and the people who shaped them. The opening line, a simple greeting, sets an approachable tone for everything that follows. Rather than shouting from the page, the site speaks plainly and lets the work speak for itself, which fits an athlete who built her platform around passion, purpose, and genuine connection with those watching.
The Tiny Bow Project is the clearest example of that idea in practice. Instead of an ornament, each pair of tiny bows became a signal, quietly worn in the hair so that a routine could carry meaning before the first tumbling pass. The schedule page traces how the idea unfolded across a season of meets, tying each appearance to a different cause so that the hairstyle itself became a form of advocacy for the audience in the stands.
Scheduling a season of causes requires discipline and planning as much as athletic training. Each meet on the calendar carried its own designation, and each designation had to be chosen with care, reflecting something the gymnast genuinely cared about rather than a passing interest. The result is a record that doubles as a timeline of personal growth, showing how a student athlete can use the platform a university program provides for something larger than competition results.
Looking back, the most meaningful entries in the schedule are rarely the ones tied to the biggest scores. They are the moments when spectators noticed the bows, wondered about them, and asked. That curiosity is what the project was designed to create, and it is why documenting the schedule matters. A simple table of meets and causes becomes a map of how awareness spreads, one small detail at a time, from the arena to the people watching at home.
The site itself continues that philosophy, with generous white space, plain typography, and full-bleed photography that keeps attention on the athlete and the work. Section labels set in italic teal mark each part of the story without crowding it, and the contact area at the end offers a straightforward way to reach out. For fans, teammates, and anyone who wants to follow what comes next, this is a place built to share rather than to sell.
