CRESTVIEW — U.S. Gold Gymnastics & Cheerleading Academy's annual fundraiser competition will benefit Okaloosa County Sheriff Deputy Bill Myers' family.

About 60 Northwest Florida gymnasts  will compete in sessions set for 1-3 p.m. and 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2118 3rd Ave., Crestview.

Team members ages 5 and up will compete in floor, balance beam, bars and vaulting categories. There is no admission fee, but donations will be accepted.

The Red Bag, a food truck, will sell concessions on site, with a portion of proceeds also donated to Myers' family.

Myers died in September after a 33-year-old man shot him multiple times in the head and back in Shalimar. The 64-year-old had just served a domestic violence injunction to him at a law firm.
