Last evening we attended the end of the season Banquet to honor the UDS Challenger Football League and the Cheerleaders. We ate Pizza Hut pizza, bread sticks, salad and dessert bread sticks. Yummy! Many businesses sponsored tables or donated money to cover the cost. We are all very grateful for the community support which gives our special kids a chance to do what kids like to do.....play the great game of football or to cheer.
This opportunity to cheer is a dream come true for Ellen.

The service dogs are one of the UDS programs.
Someone brought them to the games. Everyone loved them!
A room full of excited kids, parents and some Grandparents.
After the football players got their awards,
it was the cheerleader's turn!

What a great group. These girls came on Saturday mornings to help our special daughters.... after a late night of cheering at the High School football games. Deb was there every Saturday, even the Saturday that didn't suit any of her team, and, she was sick!
One happy Cheerleader!
Our girls blessed their volunteers with flowers.
