3 Philabundance Be a part of a competition that gives back to those in need. Join us as we partner with Philadundance and teach our cheerleaders the spirit of giving. This food drive cannot work without the help of you and your parents. Please join us in fighting hunger, right here in our own backyards. Over the past seven years, we have collected nearly 30,000 pounds of food. How it works Kedron Cheerleading has a long-standing relationship working with Philabundance to collect nonperishable and canned food items to feed the homeless in Philadelphia and surrounding areas. We encourage all teams and spectators to bring nonperishable items. What your teams can do Your teams are asked to bring one or more items for each registering cheerleader. For example, your team has 25 participates, you are asked to bring a 25 items. Place all items in a cardboard box or something creatively decorated by your team, and brought with you to registration. When you check-in and register your team, our volunteers will take your items and bring them to your organization s designated area outside of the gym. Each team within your organization will have their items placed in the same location, however, each box/basket will be counted to ensure the proper numbers of items have been received for each team. At the end of each session, the organization or team that has donated the most items will be honored with our Community Spirit Award. What you as a coach/director can do Use this as an opportunity to involve your cheerleaders in a community service project. Encourage cheerleaders to get excited about the food drive by decorating a spirit box to fill your items.
