Help the GW Cheerleaders fly to NCA Nationals

OUR TEAM IS HEADING TO NATIONALS AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!!  READ OUR STORY BELOW!

The George Washington High School Competitive Spirit Team is a diverse group of high school students ranging in ages from 14-18 years old.  These students travel from all over the City of Philadelphia to come to George Washington HS for their high school education, where there are approximately 1800 students enrolled. They are a low-socioeconomic, Title I school.  

They practice 5 days a week for two to three hours a day working on skills, drills, dance, stunting, and through repetitive practice, as well as team building activities, everyone has seen first-hand the positive effects it has brought to our students' lives.  Our students have to be academically eligible not just by PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) standards but by George Washington High School standards which is passing six out of their eight academic classes.  We see first-hand how their drive for academic excellence has improved and our athletes know that if they do not hit this standard, they cannot perform and compete.  Through team building, these athletes form extreme trust within one another, bring positive energy within the school and community, and set a true example for school spirit, joy, and enthusiasm all around.

George Washington High School is in the Philadelphia District XII Public League.  In the only six years of becoming a Competitive Spirit Team, we rose as the three-time  PIAA District XII Public League Champions in the Co-Ed Division (2020-2022); PIAA Runners Up in the Co-Ed Division (2023) five-time Competitive Spirit State Qualifiers (2019-2022); PIAA State Semi-Finalists in the Co-Ed Division (2022).  Our team was ready to take it to the next level in 2023 and attend the Varsity National NCA Competition in Dallas, Texas.

With your help this past year, we were able to attend the National Cheerleading Association Championships  (NCA) for the VERY FIRST TIME and placed in the TOP 10 in our division.  We made history by being the first team in the Philadelphia Public League to ever attend this prestigious event and to represent George Washington High School and the School District of Philadelphia down in Dallas.

Our team is working extremely hard to be able to compete in this competition. The cost to participate in the season and attend this competition is more than $1,200.00 per participant. We have a limited number of fundraisers throughout the season.  Your donations & sponsorships will help us reach our goal and give our student athletes the opportunity of a lifetime!

Currently, we are asking for your financial support. There are various options to support our team.  With this Sponsorship, your contributions will help our student athletes off-set travel costs, lodging, gym rentals, and Nationals Gear.

         These athletes have had a taste of next level competition and they are hungry for more!  They are ready to go back to NCA Nationals in Dallas, Texas.  We are all SO proud of their accomplishments and with your financial support, we want to help these Washington Eagles and their coaches "Fly" back to Dallas, Texas to represent George Washington High School as well as represent the Public League and the School District of Philadelphia.  Let's help them show the Nation what hard work and determination look like!  Be apart of their legacy...  GO EAGLES!
