the News:. American CheerleaderApril 2002 JUST CALL 'EM THE VOLUN-CHEERLEADERS The gals from New York University's cheer squad are making community service a significant part of their program this year. "After September 11, everyone wanted to be more proactive," says senior captain Claudia Allwood. In mid-December, the squad teamed up with the dance team to lend their spirit and time, working at a winter wonderland party for children who lost parents in the WTC attacks. If you caught ABC's hour-long special, "Challenge America with Erin Brokovich: The Miracle in Manhattan," you may have seen them in action. As documented on the show, Erin was asked to coordinate the restoration of lower Manhattan's East River Park (an area that includes an amphitheater and soccer field), then organize a holiday party there for thousands of people in just one week! And the squad was up to the challenge. "The amphitheater looks great now," says Claudia. "We had a lot of fun decorating the tent, making fake snow, running around with the kids and working the booths all day." |
