Cheer Gym vandalized​

The gym of Fire and Ice Allstars (in Pittsburgh) has been broken into and severely vandalized:

“There were broken trophies, shattered mirrors, smashed toilets and a broken sink in the girl's bathroom. To top it off, the whole place was doused in chemicals from a fire extinguisher.
"My partner found this place completely trashed." Marc Bombich said. "Definitely not what you want to walk into on a Monday morning."
Immediately, he called out for help, and people answered.
"Everyone dropped what they were doing to be here," Bombich said.
The Fire and Ice Allstar family came together to clean up and salvage what was possible.
"There are countless memories from trophies that won't be replaced," Bombich said. "It sucks to see the tears in their eyes when they walked through the door and saw shattered trophies. Everyone wants to build back stronger and make new trophies."“

If you can help, there is a public fundraiser which you can find here.
