About:
Throughout October, Longwood’s Junior High, Junior Varsity, and Varsity cheerleaders turned each home football game into a celebration of support for breast cancer awareness with their “Tuck for a Buck” fundraiser. The cheerleaders took their spirit beyond the sidelines, rallying fans and collecting donations in the stands with pink pom poms in hand.
For every dollar donated, the cheerleaders performed a “back tuck” or “back handspring,” thrilling the crowd and creating an interactive way to show gratitude to the generous community. With boundless energy and dedication, these athletes made each game an opportunity to give back.
Thanks to the incredible support of the Longwood community, the fundraiser was a tremendous success, raising over $1,000! Every dollar will be donated to Long Island-based breast cancer research foundations, contributing directly to essential research and support services.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make a difference. Together, we’re making strides in the fight against breast cancer!
