Sakonnet Schooner Cheerleaders Win Regionals, Head to Nationals

The Sakonnet Schooner Junior Pee Wee squad recently won the New England Championship. They will now compete at nationals at Disney World.

The Sakonnet Schooner Junior Pee Wee cheerleading squad might have won the New England Championship, but they need your help making it to nationals. 

The Sakonnet Schooner Junior Pee Wee squad won first place in their division at the New England championships held this past Saturday. The team consists of 21 young girls from Fall River, Westport, Tiverton and Little Compton. 

The team will now compete at the national Pop Warner Cheer championship to be held on Dec. 9 at Disney World in Orlando, FL. 

However, the team is now rushing to raise funds for this special trip. 

A special fundraiser will be held Monday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. at Boondocks Bar and Grill, 46 Water St., Fall River, MA. Admission is $10 per person. 

The event will feature the music of Paul Trial from Identity Crisis and Gary Farias of The Freeze Pops. The event will also include a cash bar and hors d'oeuvres.
