Panther Cheer Athletics began the new year with an impressive showing at last weekend’s Pacific All-Star Cheerleading Championships in Chilliwack.
Despite being hit hard by the flu and coming off a two week break over the holidays, the Richmond based club produced a trio of first place finishes in the extremely deep and competitive Youth Level 1, Youth Level 2 and Senior Level 2 Divisions. All three teams reached their goal of a zero reduction routines to solidify their first place results.
Panther Cheer’s Senior Level 4 team continues to show it has the skills to excel at this elite level, placing second in a very talented five team category.
All seven of the club’s competitive teams made the trip to the Fraser Valley.
The club is also excited to announce its Mini Level 1 team has launched their philanthropic endeavour for this year and kicked off their January donation drive for the Richmond Food Bank. The group has a big goal of collecting 500 food items and is already well on its way to achieving it.
They have chosen this cause after discussing how donations usually drop off after the holidays and that this can be a very hard time for families in the community.
All Panther Cheer teams are excited to get behind this initiative and do what they can do help.
