Giving Back.....


Cheer Fusion is a fantastic all star cheer program out of Fredericksburg, VA. They have decided that it is not only important for the cheerleaders to be great on the cheer mat, but it is also important for them to think of others and give back as much as possible.When I asked them about all the work they had been doing, this is what they had to say. "We feel giving back is important because it teaches our athletes what's most important and that helping others makes a well rounded person and athlete. When our gym was destroyed by a tornado four years ago, the community and the all star world banded together to help us rebuild and they continue to support us. We wanted to do the same for others. We will never be able to say Thank You enough to those who helped save our program, but we hope by giving back to the community we can pay it forward."
