Something was different about Smithtown East’s cheer outfits Saturday.
Squad members donned their usual crisp white and red uniforms. But the pink bows in their hair? That’s an accessory usually reserved for October.
“We wore pink ribbons in honor of Paige Keely,” Starr Ferrari said. “She recently passed away, so we dedicated our routine to her.”
Keely, from Nissequogue, died Monday from a rare brain condition. The 6-year-old, who often wore a bow in her hair, was honored with more than a routine. Pink was her favorite color, her parents said.
