Breast cancer awareness pep rally Friday

NORTH JACKSON

The Jackson-Milton cheerleaders have been raising breast-cancer awareness throughout the month, and their efforts will culminate in a pep rally Friday.

The cheerleaders sponsored a penny drive, worked with a local salon and school administrators to allow students to dye their hair pink this week and sold pink T-shirts that will be worn at a pep rally at 2 p.m.

The cheerleaders will perform an awareness cheer and the Pink Ribbon Cheer Classic camp dance. This is a dance hundreds of cheerleaders will take part in at the Pink Ribbon

Cheer Classic at YSU on Sunday. At the Jackson-Milton football game Friday night, players, cheerleaders and parents will don pink for the cause.
