Powdersville Middle School Cheerleaders choose the Ronald McDonald House of
Greenville |
| The fundraiser at the Powdersville McDonald's was a success.
The Powdersville Middle School Cheerleaders and their coaches did a great job.
The managers and crew had fun while helping with the donations for the Ronald
McDonald House. The reason for this event was for the cheerleaders to give to
their community. It was a wonderful idea, and we will do this again. Melissa Harrison Area Supervisor Collins Enterprises, dba McDonald's Easley, Pickens, and Powdersville |
Every
year, the cheerleaders at Powdersville
Middle School work on a
community service project. The parents
and coaching staff feel that this is an important part of the girl’s
responsibilities as ambassadors, not only to other schools in the area, but to
the community itself. This year, they
have chosen the Ronald McDonald House.
The cheerleaders are extremely excited about this years’ selection. Several of the girls’ have families that have
used the services in the past, so it was something they could very easily
relate to. The cheerleaders became so
enthused with the project, that it led to the first annual fundraising event,
held on August 25, 2007 at the McDonald’s restaurant located on Hwy 153 in
Powdersville. The 100 plus degree heat
did not stop them. The cheerleaders
performed cheers, dances, and stunts for the customers. The girls handed out balloons, and did face
painting. Hot 93.1 radio station
broadcast from the parking lot to show support for the girls and to bring
attention to the cause. Ronald McDonald
himself was able to attend, posing for pictures and passing out
autographs. Several local businesses
made donations, including BMW, which donated the use of a Roadster for a
weekend to the single highest donation.
We are pleased to announce the winner of the use of the Roadster is
Julie Holcomb. Congratulations!
The
girls collected approximately $1,500.00 in cash and other donations, but more
help is needed, donations are still being accepted – simply contact Powdersville Middle School. More updates to follow throughout the school year! |
