Special Needs Cheer Team - "The Pride of Trilogy" looking for some help
Required disclaimer: The administrators of Democratic Underground have given permission for one discussion thread on this topic. The administrators of Democratic Underground make no claims regarding the legitimacy or illegitimacy of this fundraising effort. Permission was granted by Skinner on 2/15/09, and the moderators have been notified.

Amazing people are everywhere, folks. Angela's father is a co-worker. He sent this out, and with Skinner's permission, I'm posting it here.

If you go to www.detnews.com and enter "The Pride of Trilogy" in the search bar it will take you to a video showing the special needs cheer team from The Cheerleading Training Center of Michigan which is owned and operated by Angela Trombley-Goralski and her husband Steve Goralski. The gym is trying to raise $18,000 to send the team of 19 kids with a variety of disabilities to the National Cheerleading Finals in Virginia Beach, VA. This is the first time a special needs kids team has been invited to perform at the national competition. (By the way, Ange and Steve offer this to the families of special kids at no cost to the parents.)


There is a news article here -- http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090...

There is a 'television article' here -- (its not a video, but a newstory) -- http://www.clickondetroit.com/community/18597167/detail...

And lastly, for those so moved to donate to these kids, you can do so here -- http://www.ctcofmi.com /

Thanks in advance for any support; I know times are tough for all of us, but I'm really hoping these kids get to go on this 'trip of a lifetime!'

Best,
Ida Briggs
Just Saying :)

1. Ida, I know you. You're good people. I can vouch for that
so I will look into it.

My son has autism and he is double jointed. If he were pushed in the right direction, he could be a cheerleader. No not really.

2. Thank you -- as I said, one of my coworkers is the father of the
wife, and I personally think this is pretty amazing. I have a brother-in-law who is special needs, so this one kind of hit my heart.

And by the way, thank you for the heart somebody!!! :)
