My Project

Many of the girls have never been on a team and would get the opportunity to become a part of one. They will develop a strong sense of community and leadership skills. They will also have the ability to build strength, endurance, and flexibility. The donations will help them feel and look the part of being a cheerleader with pom poms, cheer megaphones, a popup tent for hot days of practice and games, and carrying bag for it. The sense of belonging and being a part of a team is all some of these girls want! Help this become a reality for them!
