🎉 Join the Shirlee Lewis Smith Cheerleading Scholarship Challenge! 🎉 Did you know that my mom, Shirlee Lewis Smith, was the very first black all-star cheerleader in the state of Kentucky? She was not only a trailblazer but also the biggest cheerleader for everyone around her. She even helped our family and others pay for college. Now, we have a scholarship named after her to continue her legacy of support! Since the inception of the "Shirlee Lewis Smith Cheerleading Scholarship," we've been able to assist 8 students from Central High School, which happens to be my mom's alma mater, in their journey towards higher education. It's been truly inspiring to witness the impact of this scholarship on their lives. And here's where you come in! We need your support to help even more students in the future. Introducing the "Walking for Shirlee" challenge happening throughout the entire month of June, leading up to my mom's birthday on June 29th! Here's how it works: Reach out to a friend and ask them to sponsor you $3 per mile for the month of June. Then, lace up your walking, running, or jogging shoes and hit the pavement every day from June 1st to June 29th. Whether you prefer to stride along with a group or go solo, it's all about participating and spreading the word! After each successful day, remember to use the hashtag #walkingforshirlee and share your progress on social media. Let's build a community of enthusiastic participants who are walking towards a brighter future together! The challenge concludes on June 30th, so mark your calendars and start spreading the word. Your participation will help us raise funds for the Shirlee Lewis Smith Cheerleading Scholarship, ensuring that more deserving students receive the support they need to pursue their dreams. Join us in celebrating my mom's incredible journey as the first black all-star cheerleader in Kentucky and her unwavering dedication to helping others achieve their educational goals. Together, we can make a difference! Let's walk, run, or jog our way towards a brighter future for aspiring scholars. Get ready to participate in the "Walking for Shirlee" challenge and show your support! 🚶💨🌟
