Methacton Pop Warner Cheerleaders Heading to Nationals

The team placed second in Albany and will move on to the national competition in Orlando.

The Methacton Junior Midget cheerleaders placed second on Saturday at a competition in Albany, N.Y., earning themselves a trip to Nationals in Orlando in December.

" It’s an honor for our girls from our community to move to Disney and represent our community," said cheer director Danie Leitham.

The squad is holding a fundraiser to make sure all the girls will be able to attend nationals. A "Beef and Beer" will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Nov. 23 at Screwballs in King of Prussia. Tickets are $30, or $35 at the door.

If you are unable to attend the fundraiser but still would like to contribute to the cheerleaders' trip, you can do so through GoFundMe: http://www.gofundme.com/5cazsc
