Celebrate Your Success Stories Pleasant Valley cheerleaders coached by Pam CinadrMAC schools held a fundraiser to increase awareness of breast cancer. These pink shirts were sold throughout all of the MAC schools. Cheerleaders wore them at games and the boys' basketball team wore them during warm-ups. It was a great event!
Raise Your Megaphone!If you have a cheerleading success story you want to share, please e-mail Jenny Crawford at jennycrawford1@msn.com Relay for Life - June 19, 2009 BCLUW, Cedar Falls & Nashua-Plainfield cheerleaders joined together to become "sister squads" and walk the Relay for Life. We picked a central location (Black Hawk County) and then contacted the American Cancer Society to register. As coaches, we wanted to promote friendship and sportsmanship while working for a great cause. Each squad was responsible for their own fundraising. BCLUW did fund raisers for a month before the Relays. Each BCLUW cheerleader had a goal of reaching $100 in donations with 12 cheerleaders participating. Our overall goal was a lofty $2500. With the support of our families, friends, and community, BCLUW was fortunate enough to turn in $2850.93 - truly something to celebrate. The schools met on June 19th at Hawkeye Community College, the site of Black Hawk County's Relays. The cheerleaders from the three schools walked together in the opening ceremonies by taking part of the Team Lap. They also had two cancer survivors (chaperones) who were a part of the Survivor Walk. During the Relay, the cheerleaders walked many laps, always having someone from their school on the track. They did take time out to do a human spell out of "HOPE" & "CURE". The friendships and memories that were formed will be carried far past the evening. Plans are already processing for next years' Relay for Life and bringing in more "sister" squads. This was a very rewarding experience for everyone and something all Iowa cheer coaches should consider having their cheerleaders become involved with. Probably most importantly, money was raised for the American Cancer Society. Cancer touches everyone's lives. Whether it is personally, a relative, or friend, it seems this horrible disease continues to change our lives. The Relay for Life CELEBRATES the survivors of cancer, REMEMBERS its victims, and wants everyone to FIGHT BACK to eliminate cancer from our lives. In doing so, we have HOPE for a CURE. Congratulations to the cheerleaders from Cedar Falls, Nashua-Plainfield, and BCLUW for joining the fight against cancer and creating a sisterhood while doing it.
BCLUW cheerleaders before the start.
