My Students

As times get tough, the schools are cutting extra curricular activities. Can you imagine going to a basketball or football game and not hearing the cheers of the cheerleading squad? I fought to keep cheerleading at our school. We have no funds and we have very old mats and need new mats that are safe.

My girls love to cheer and are extremely dedicated.

We practice four to five times a week and spend our own money on gyms and competition fees. We do a ton of fundraising to buy things for our squad. Last year we raised enough money to buy new uniforms. We attend a wonderful school in the sunshine state of Florida. Most of my cheerleaders have straight A's and I could not be prouder!

My Project

By getting new cheer mats, my girls will feel safer when doing stunts and tumbling. Right now our mats are very old and lumpy. The girls hate using them! My cheerleaders work so hard and I feel they should be rewarded not just for there skills in cheerleading but for there outstanding grades!

Please help us get new mats.

We have all worked too hard. I have fought to keep cheerleading but have no funds to buy the cheerleaders the necessary equipment they need. The girls need your help!
