For the first time in Westmoreland Pop Warner history, the Pee Wee Cheer Squad has earned a bid to compete at the 2025 Pop Warner Super Bowl and National Cheer and Dance Championships.

This event is taking place December 6th–13th in Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s a milestone moment for this team, and one that’s filling the entire community with pride. These athletes have spent countless hours practicing, perfecting routines, and supporting their teammates, all leading to this incredible opportunity to represent Westmoreland on the national stage. Their determination, teamwork, and spirit have already made them champions, but now they need help turning this dream into reality.

Supporting the Squad

Traveling to Nationals is an expensive journey. Between transportation, lodging, meals, and competition fees, the costs add up quickly. That’s why the team is reaching out to local businesses and community members for sponsorships and donations. Every bit of support goes directly toward helping these athletes compete in North Carolina.

Every donation helps the team get closer to Nationals. Anyone wishing to help can contact the team via Facebook or email Westmopw@gmail.com. The sponsorship deadline is November 24th, 2025, and all support is deeply appreciated.

Congrats To Whitestown Varsity Cheer

This is also the first team in Whitestown Pop Warner history to make it this far as well. You can help support the team on November 15th at a local Cornhole tournament:
