A CHEERLEADING group in Rugby has something to shout about after a donation funded new training kits to help them prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime performance.
Mulberry Homes donated £1,000 to Roar Cheer, a cheerleading group based near the housebuilder’s development in Houlton.
Roar Cheer was founded in January 2012 with the aim of promoting the sport of cheerleading in the community and to provide a safe place for young athletes to train and develop their skills.
The group recently won a bid to compete in the All Star Worlds, a major competition in the sport which is held in the USA.
The donation from Mulberry Homes will be used to provide the team with brand-new training kits for the occasion.
Claudia Lindstrom, Fundraising Lead for Roar Cheer, said: “The girls will be delighted once they receive their kit and it will be a motivational tool, so the girls feel a sense of belonging. The support is very much appreciated.”
Sophie Leathley, Senior Brand and Marketing Manager at Mulberry Homes, said: “We are delighted to be able to help Roar Cheer with preparation for their exciting trip to America, and wish them the best of luck in the competition.
“Community groups such as this play an important role in bringing people together and we’re always looking for ways to support them. We’re looking forward to finding further opportunities to do so in the future.”
