A Thomastown cheerleading squad has transformed more than 5000 containers into custom-made cheer bows.
Atomic Allstars’ Ice Queens set up four labelled tubs at their gym encouraging athletes, families, and friends to donate eligible drink containers, which they then returned to their nearest container deposit scheme site, raising $560.
The bows, which cost $35 each, were final piece needed for the team’s uniform, with the cheerleaders proudly wearing them to the IASF Cheerleading Worlds in Florida.
The Ice Queens plan to keep collecting containers through the scheme to support future team expenses and competitions
“We’ve seen first-hand how something so simple can make a real difference,” they said.
“It’s been an easy, sustainable way to raise funds and it’s fun too.”
