DreamCatchers Cheer Performance at the 8th Annual 5k Inter-Tribal Sexual Assault Awareness Walk
Sunday, April 30 at San Pasqual
The 8th Annual 5k Inter-Tribal Sexual Assault Awareness Walk was hosted by the Avellaka Program on Sunday April 30th on the San Pasqual Reservation. The sun was out and the temperature was high, however this did not stop the DreamCatchers from shouting loud and proud throughout the event. The girls gave encouragement to all who participated in the walk by handing out water and energetically shaking their pom-poms while thunderously cheering, “You can do it! Go Fight Win!”. The DreamCatchers delivered a stunning and high spirited performance during lunch that caught the eyes of all.
To thank the DreamCatchers for their two years of performing for the Avellaka Walk each cheerleader was presented with a blanket by Wendy Schlater, Avellaka Program Director. We are so proud of you DreamCatchers!
