Good  morning, 
My daughter owns and runs the FIRE  House Gym in Johnsburg,  IL.  I act as 
her Office  Manager and am in charge of developing a new All Star Cheerleading 
program for  “special” athletes (“special needs” as defined by the USASF).  
Our program  is offered to children and young adults, boys and girls, ages 5 – 
25.  Our  head coach is a Developmental Therapist and an experienced 
Cheerleading  coach.  Our volunteer staff consists of junior coaches who are also FIRE  
cheerleaders and will be on the floor with the team when they  perform. 
We will practice one hour per week  and our team will participate in the ‘
exhibition’ portion of competitions with  our other AllStar Cheer teams.  The 
cost is $25 per month and the program  runs for 10 months of the year (June 
through April).  The other costs  (uniforms, competition fees, etc.) will be 
deferred by donations and  sponsorships. 
We are not affiliated with Special  Olympics.  Our coaches are USASF 
credentialed and our program meets the  USASF guidelines for AllStar Cheerleading.  
Competitive cheerleading builds  physical fitness, coordination, self-confidence 
and discipline – it also brings  out the best in everyone involved.  We are 
one of 7 gyms in Illinois that offers this  program. 
The most challenging part of  starting up a new program is getting the word 
out.  I am asking if NFB  would be willing to help us spread the word…bring 
this opportunity to the  community…whatever that might involve.  I could provide 
brochures and  flyers; I would be more than happy to speak to groups about 
this  opportunity.  Anything you can offer as a way of helping would be greatly  
appreciated. 
I am attaching a copy of the  flyer.  Please let me know if you would like me 
to come in to meet with you  personally or direct me to the appropriate 
person.  If you would prefer I  mail the flyers and brochures, please provide a 
name and  address. 
Thank you for your support and  consideration.
