11/01/2012 - Helping our NY and NJ Cheer Gym friends after Hurricane Sandy...
We are organizing efforts to help out our cheer gym friends in NJ and NY that have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. As you can imagine it is hard to communicate with everyone to see what their needs are, but in the days to come I'm sure it will become clearer. I will be setting up a separate account to accept donations which we will split evenly among the programs affected and we will be working on finding out kind of donations are needed and trying to get those delivered.

I'm trying to reach each gym and will share more details as I get them, along with monetary and supply donation details. If you have been in contact with one of the gym owners in the affected area let me know so we can include all of them in our efforts. Email me at [email protected]
I know our all star community has big hearts and we all want to do what we can to help, so I'll be updating you
as soon as I can.

These are the gyms I have reached out to so far, some are ok, some are sending me their families' needs, some I am waiting on replies, and a couple I'm not able to get through to them yet. Please let me know if anyone else should be added to our list:
All American Cheer, Cheer University, Island Xtreme, Just Cheer, NY Cheer, Premier (Farmingdale), Riptide, Spirit Factory, Spirit Xplosion, South Jersey Storm, Staten Island Elite, Staten Island Spirit, World Cup

Thank You, Kathy Penree

Update: We've set up an account to begin receiving donations to help NJ and NY area all star gyms and their families who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. Donations can be made payable to Cheer Relief Benefit Fund, PO Box 655, Herkimer, NY 13350. Funds will be distributed equally among the gyms' families who are in need. A Pay Pal link is also being set up. We'd like to make the first distribution of funds by 11/18, so the families have some relief before Thanksgiving. Donations for clothing and home goods is in the process of being finalized and more updates will follow. For a list of gyms that we have reached out to so far please visit our website:

Thank you for organizing. I am a parent from Jersey All Star Cheerleading where we have many families who live near the shore. We know of 4 families already who have been impacted. One has lost their home and is structurally unsound and can no longer return. She is now in a rental with bare bones which we are trying to find out what they need with children on the youth team. The other 3 families have had 1st and 2nd floor damage and will need to rent for over a year as they rebuild. I will send you the owners email address to contact them. Thank you again.
