My Project

October is breast cancer awareness month. The entire month of October our cheerleaders wear something pink to every game like pink hairbows or pink shoelaces. This year we would love to have some shiny pink pom-poms.

As a team, we feel it is important to help bring awareness and a reminder to all in our community to get your yearly check-up and mammogram.

Sadly, cancer is an ugly disease that has touched nearly everyone in some form or fashion. Our team of cheerleaders want to do a little public service reminder by using pink pom-poms during our October games and events. We also have some t-shirt launchers in this project. They will use these to launch items like shirts, and necklaces into the crowd during games and pep rallies. Thank you for your kind donation and generosity.
