J-M cheerleaders support breast cancer awareness

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 Youngstown State University on Sunday. At Friday night's Jackson-Milton football game, players, cheerleaders and parents will don pink for the cause.
