The Ridge Youth Sports varsity cheerleaders participated in breast cancer awareness month by leading a fundraising campaign for the Susan G Komen foundation in October.
This team has been raising money to attend a national competition, but then decided to at the same time make an effort to give back to a worthy effort.
The Ridge Youth Sports, Inc. program as a whole also sponsored some fundraising efforts during the month of October and, combined with the cheerleaders, were able to donate $650 to the Susan G. Komen foundation.
The Susan G. Komen organization fights breast cancer and raises awareness about the disease.
