he leis may be off—unless you help. Wood River High School cheerleaders have fallen short in their fundraising efforts to go to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii where they’ve been invited to perform in January. And they’re willing to do just about anything—anything legal, that is—to get there. As a result, they’re conducting a last-minute campaign push now through Nov. 10. They’ll donate an hour of their time to the charity of your choice for every $10 donated. Cheerleading Coach Amanda Ornelas said it costs $1,150 per person plus airfare to go and so far the 11-member squad has raised about $4,500 after a number of fundraising events, including one in which they donated a portion of the money they raised to cancer research. “So, as you can see, we are very short on cash,” said Ornelas. The cheerleaders qualified to join other cheerleading squads during halftime at the football tame by achieving perfect scores on three different evaluations during cheerleading camp this summer. Two other Idaho squads from Boise and Capital high Schools also qualified. “The kids feel like to go would be a huge asset as far as building the program at the high school. And it’s a chance of a lifetime for them,” said Ornelas. Cheerleaders are Rosie Paredes, Shannice Hall, Paty Orozco, Adriana Gomez, Karina Rangel, Alejandro Hurtado, Maricruz Baltazar, Crystal Rodriguez, and Melissa Molina. To help, call Ornelas at 309-2929 or email her at amanda.ornelas@yahoo.com Or send a check to Wood River Cheerleaders care of Wood River High School, 1250 Fox Acres Drive, Hailey, Id 83333. Be sure to note twp the charity of your choice.
