This years Ellwood City Powderpuff games will be played on Wednesday, November 14. The games will be played at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Between the 81 girls signed up to play, freshman will play against the sophomores, with the big game of the juniors playing the unbeaten senior team.
The games are a big fundraiser for the cheerleaders. The money not only goes towards their banquet in February, but they will also be making a donation for Club Hope at Lincoln High School.
Club Hope is a borough nonprofit that has been helping people that have been affected by cancer and their families for 10 years. The club was started by Cara Atkinson in 2008 at Lincoln High School as a fund raiser to help people in Ellwood City. The club had also made an appearance in Riverside this year with the Pink-Out Challenge that went on as a competition between the schools during the weeks leading up to the big Riv-Ell game.
It was through Atkinson that the club got to be involved with the game.
“[Club Hope] almost sells itself,” said Lincoln High School Club Hope representative, Kevin Dimeo to EllwoodCity.org.
Dimeo also states that the cheerleaders just had offered to help out in the club, just like many other businesses, schools and individuals throughout out community.
