Panthers hearts full after feeding hungry
For Panther Cheer Athletics co-founders
Stephanie Kennedy and Dawn Silver, character is as important as ability.
Continuing the mission of developing the make
up of their athletes, in addition to their skills, Panthers were provided with
a unique opportunity to give back recently. Two of their competitive teams took
time out from training to participate in one of six annual philanthropic
initiatives.
Athletes, coaches and parents headed to
downtown Vancouver for an evening of service with The First Baptist Shelter
Program. It provides a hot supper, breakfast, and a night’s place to rest from
the Vancouver streets for some of the city’s most vulnerable.
Gym owners Kennedy and Silver strong believe
the Panther mission is to “develop well-rounded young athletes who grow to
become exceptional young adults.”
Kennedy also commended Panther technical
director Taryn van den Boogaard’s organizing skills, managing what Kennedy said
was a transformative event for all those who participated.
van den Boogaard believes that “in planning
all our philanthropic initiatives this year, we felt it was important our
athletes get involved first-hand.”
“While it’s undeniably helpful to raise
donations for a charity or a cause, the impact on our athlete's perspective is
significantly greater when our athletes have a chance to meet and speak with
those they are helping."
Up next, Panther Cheer is organizing a
five-kiometre walk in support of one of our local animal shelter, RAPS. If you
or your company are interested and able to help sponsor the event in any way,
please email Panthers at info@panthercheerathletics.com.
