Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders Fly High 3

Champions of the community

But for members of the successful cheerleading group, it’s not just about winning titles. While they may be champions on the competition floor, they desire to be champions off of it as well. Ascension Eagles strive not only to have Britain’s best cheerleaders, but also to encourage young people to reach their full potential in life. Therefore, each year, the AEC Leadership Team reaches out to over 2,600 children within the greater London area. During their last season alone, these young leaders delivered over 20,000 sessions, with each cheerleader volunteering a minimum of 200 hours.

Outreach activities include weekly after-school clubs that assist children in developing leadership, literacy and life skills. Not surprisingly, AEC’s drive to help others has propelled them further into the spotlight. In 2010 the team was one of three finalists for the Spirit of London Community Champion award. This was quite an honor, considering there were 3,500 nominations. Needless to say, Shara Brice is proud of her team. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the streets of Newham are no longer the only option for young people. Instead, for the Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders, the sky’s the limit.
