With the help of cheerleaders and area businesses all over the Wyoming Valley and beyond, the girls raised over $8,000 for the Susan G. Komen Founda- tion. Altogether in the past five years, the event has raised over $36,000 for different charities. The Cheer for a Cause (as it has been renamed to better suit the mission) is a cheerleading com- petition held for cheerleaders all over Wyoming Valley and be- yond. Each team brings donations for the charities chosen by the senior girls who sponsor the event. In addition, there are bas- ket raffles, t-shirts, food and oth- er items for sale. All proceeds are donated to the charities the girls have chosen. This year the event is slated for 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 at Lake-Lehman High School. Proceeds from the Sixth An- nual Cheer for a Cause will be split between Candy’s Place and Vildren’s Cardiomyopathy Mndation (CCF). Candy’s Place is a resource center for Cancer Patients. CCF is a non-profit organization that focuses on research for pediatric cardiomypathy. Little Emily Ayes lost her bat- tle with CCF at the tender age of 8 months.
