Annual Cheer Clinic at “The Sanctuary”
The PCA Teen Cheerleaders and Alumni held a special dance and cheer clinic for ”The Sanctuary” on 8th street, located in the Springfield community of Jacksonville. The Sanctuary offers a stimulating environment for inner city children and youth. For the last 4 years the Professional Cheerleaders Alumni and the PCA Teen Cheerleaders have been mentoring young ladies by motivating them through dance and cheer.
The clinic started with a special introduction from PCA, followed by a dance warm up, fun chants and an energetic hip hop routine. In addition, PCA did a team building activity with the girls and held a circle discussion about PCA’s Mission: Dreams, Goals, Actions. Alumni and the PCA Teen Cheerleaders bond every year with the young ladies of The Sanctuary by sharing their positive missions in life.
The following PCA representatives attended: Professional Cheerleaders Alumni Members: Donna, Mindy and Autumn, and 2010 PCA Teen Cheerleaders: Brooklyn, Megan and Carolyn.

The Donna W. and Kristin D., along with PCA’s Teen Cheerleader group spent the afternoon putting on a cheer clinic for the girls at “The Sanctuary on 8th Street” in Jacksonville.

This is a perfect fit with Professional Cheerleaders Alumni’s mission to mentor the young girls, who learned a dance combination, some cheers, and talked about their goals and the importance of staying focused on school, right along with PCA’s mission: “Dreams, Goals, Actions”.
