About:
All 17 of my varsity athletes are involved in spreading awareness and fundraising during breast cancer awareness month
We do different activities throughout the entire month of October and dedicate all of our community service during this month towards breast cancer awareness
This past game we gave out free pink poms with any size donation to the American Cancer Society. I purchased the poms myself as a donation so it is 100% profit towards the cause. I’m not sure how much we have received yet since it’s still going on. We also wear pink (our poms are pink, bows, socks, etc) during game days throughout the month of October to spread awareness. We will also do another fundraiser which we have not set up yet but will in about a week
Our goal for every October is to spread awareness in hope that it motivates members of our community to take an extra part in working for the cause. Being cheerleaders in a district sport represents so much more to us than just cheering on the sidelines or at competitions. We see it as our duty to uplift the community in anyway possible. If we can touch the heart of even 1 person in our efforts to bring awareness to any cause, we know we are doing our jobs.
