Pink shirtsFrom Richard Hawkins

A group of Trinity Valley Community College cheerleaders spent a recent Sunday this month helping to raise Breast Cancer awareness performing in the Dallas Cowboys Breast Cancer awareness halftime show. They performed as a part of Spirit Celebration along with 44 male cheerleaders from various colleges, and the world famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! Everyone involved should be congratulated for an awesome performance! The owner of Spirit Celebration, Billy Roy Smith, did a phenomenal job with putting this performance together! TVCC, and the City of Athens should be very proud of the of the way this phenomenal group of athletes represented our community! I am honored to have been able to capture this amazing opportunity!
