The Boardman High School varsity, junior varsity and freshman cheerleaders want to thank the Boardman community for helping them raise nearly $3,000 to fight breast cancer.

Boardman won the Biggest Donor award at the Pink Ribbon Cheer Classic at Youngstown State University on Oct. 21. This is the second year Boardman took the Biggest Donor title.

“The BHS cheerleaders and coaching staff want to give a huge thank you to the Boardman community,” said Cheerleading Advisor Cassie Pantelis. “The girls reach out through many events and at home games, as well as hosting a cheer camp to raise donations. We appreciate everyone’s help for a cause that’s very close to our hearts.”

The Pink Ribbon Cheer Classic is a cheer and dance exhibition created by the Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority at YSU to raise money for breast cancer awareness, research and education. Now in its 18th year, the Pink Ribbon Cheer Classic has raised more than a million dollars for the cause.
