This years Cheer For Charity will be held at Holt 9th grade campus. The event will take place in the gym on December 4th 2010
This is a wonderful event for your team to take part in. It is a exhibition performance for a great cause. Each team brings in toys to donate to the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots event. The team with the most toys per athlete ratio will recieve a full paid bid to another competition. There will be a spirit award also given to the most spirited team. We will have games and events held for everyone to participate in. Come spread the spirit at this community event!
More information will be coming soon!
The impact of Cheer for Charity has had far reaching results. Somewhere in one of the following communities, Vermontville, Grand Ledge, Holt, Waverly, Fulton, Midland, Detroit, Bellevue, Olivet, East Lansing, Lansing, Shumate, Bryon Center, Eaton Rapids, Potterville, DeWitt, just to name a few,... a child is getting a jacket/gloves, a homeless family is getting food, elderly patients are getting some attention, abusive parents are being educated to stop, hospice is getting financial help....and the list goes on and on... because all the cheer teams made the commitment to do community service. Over the last eight years, we have had approximately over 600 teams compete, with over 4,000 cheerleaders! That's a lot of people working to make this a better world!
