Costa Mesa United awards grant to Costa Mesa High School Cheer Squad

Costa Mesa, Calif. (Sept. 10, 2009) Costa Mesa United, a non-profit organization devoted to supporting youth sports facilities in the community, awarded $864.00 to the Costa Mesa High School (CMHS) Cheer squad to purchase backhand spring machines to help the cheer squad with tumbling skills. This money will be combined with $1,000 donated from 2008 CMHS graduate Ally Krikorian, so the squad can purchase two trainers. Krikorian received a scholarship from the Golden State Spirit Association (GSSA) and donated it to the program to purchase back handspring machines to strengthen the tumbling skills for the program. She received a full scholarship for Gymnastics to the University of Maryland and could not keep the $1,000 from GSSA.  “This grant will not only help the 36 CMHS Cheer squad, but future squads as well. We will also use the tumbling machine for clinics with Pop Warner and others to train our future high school cheerleaders early,” said CMHS Cheer Coach Kori Johnson.
