One Community.
|
In Bettendorf, Iowa, a group of young girls opened their community’s eyes to inspiration and transformed their hearts. The Pleasant Valley High School Spartan Cheerleaders receieved a GoGirlGo! Ambassador Grant from the Women's Sports Foundation and coached a group of girls, dubbing them ‘The Sparkles.’ This group of Sparkles cheerleaders are mentally disabled, and most had not been given much of a chance to be physically active as part of a team. Hear their story through one of the Spartans:

“Sports is human life in microcosm.”
