The Lansing Recreation Department Cheerleader Squads presented three plaques to Lansing Supervisor Ed LaVigne and Recreation Director Steve Colt Wednesday. The plaques were won at the YFL Youth Cheerleading Competition in Trumansburg two weeks ago including First Place Stunt Off, Senior Third Place, and Junior First Place. Parent Pete Walker said the plaques would be put on display in the Town Hall, and thanked the Town for its contribution to help buy new uniforms and equipment for the junior and senior squads.
"We promised we would raise as much money as we could if the Town could help us out," Walker said. "Ed was on board. Steve was on board. Our cheerleading team raised approximately $4,000, and we received a $2,000 stipend from the town, which was awesome. We were able to get brand new cheerleading uniforms, pop-poms,warm-ups for the girls. It helped them look good and feel good about themselves, which is huge in cheerleading."
