ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 30, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Esperanza High School Cheer and Song Leaders are hosting Team Up for St. Jude Spirited by Varsity – Game Day, a spirit week to raise funds and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. The Aztec cheer and song teams are enlisting students and fans to help sideline childhood cancer and other deadly diseases by cheering on the Cardinal and Gold at Brea Olinda High Stadium on Thursday, October 2, 2014, at 7 p.m.
As the Esperanza Aztecs take on the Brea Olinda Wildcats, the cheer squad is partnering with Varsity Spirit® – the leader in cheerleading and dance team, camps, competitions and apparel – and encouraging students and fans to tackle a cause off the field by participating in special events leading up to kickoff and throughout the game.
Esperanza High School is donating a portion of funds collecting during a miracle minute Thursday, October 1st on campus to help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything – including treatment, travel, housing and food, so they can focus on what matters most – helping their child live. On game day, cheer and song squads will be selling rooter poms in school colors, with all proceeds benefiting St. Jude.
“The students, staff and coaches are excited to participate in Team Up for St. Jude Spirited by Varsity – Game Day,” said Lyndsie Olson, Esperanza’s head cheer coach. “By coming together as a school and igniting Aztec spirit, we have the chance to really help children fighting to beat cancer and other deadly diseases so that one day they, too, will be able to join their high school in spirit week. It’s the best feeling.”
In the past three years, Varsity has raised more than $1.5 million for St. Jude and every dollar raised through Team Up for St. Jude Spirited by Varsity guarantees St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most – saving kids regardless of their financial situation.
