Hi there! We are raising money to support our funniest, hardest working, favorite senior athlete, A'yona Pickett! A'yona has been cheerleading competitively since she was three years old, winning countless trophies and competitions, and even ending her traveling cheerleading career last year by winning Nationals in Las Vegas! A'yona has now made the varsity cheerleading team at Warren High School in Downey, California, and we know she can take it all the way to college cheer if she wants to.

Unfortunately, finances have gotten very challenging. A'yona has recently had several close family members pass away who had previously helped support her sports, and with the economy the way it is, our single parent household is finding it hard to pay for uniforms, cheer camp, and travel opportunities. If we are not able to raise the money in the next couple of months, we may not be able to keep A'yona in cheerleading this year. This would be tragic, as not only has A'yona worked her whole life to get to this point, but we even had to upend our own lives to transfer her to Downey, where she would best be set up to receive a college scholarship for cheerleading. She loves it at her new school and has made tons of new friends on her team, and we are so happy to see her thriving. We just want to make sure we can continue.

Please, please help us ensure A'yona can continue cheerleading for her senior year! We don't need much, and every dollar helps. Thank you for believing in our girl. We certainly know she can do everything, especially with the support of her community!!
