About:
Blind Brook Varsity Cheer has been supporting Breast Cancer Awareness for over a decade. This team initiative began as tribute to my grandmother when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and became even more personal to the team as a whole when the mother of one of our captains was diagnosed. Each October we add pink shoelaces and ribbons/bows to our uniforms and encourage “Pink Out” themes for home football games (our 1st was last Saturday). We also have been walking as a team in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk at Manhattanville College. Last year, our Varsity Football team join us in the walk and has elected to do the same this year on October 21st. Over the years, we have donated close to $15,000 to the American Cancer Society.
