Cheerleaders fundraise with fireworks

From Staff Reports

The largest fundraising effort of the year by the Pea Ridge Blackhawk cheerleaders is their fireworks tent, according to Dawnitta Henson, parent of a cheerleader.

"Pea Ridge cheerleaders will once again bring the best fireworks to Pea Ridge," Henson said, explaining that the group had originally received permission to place the tent in the parking lot of Pea Ridge Neighborhood Market by Walmert, but lost that spot.

"We have moved our tent location to Castle Rental & Pawn," she said.

"We fundraise through USA Fireworks owned by Edwin Brewer, who is very dedicated to the success of the Pea Ridge cheerleaders. This will be our ninth year in partnership with USA Fireworks," Henson said. "We have built a great relationship and hope to continue this fundraiser for our cheerleaders for many years to come."

Fireworks for sale include World Class Fireworks, Showtime Fireworks, and, new this year, Black Cat Fireworks.

"We have the best prices from day one, so come early for the best selection of all your Fourth of July Fireworks from citywide shows to your own backyard."

This is the biggest fundraiser that supports the two-time reigning state champion 4A cheerleaders, who will be out to gain their third state ring this December.
