UTSC Cheerleading End of the Year Dinner and Awards

On April 27th 2019, The UTSC Cheerleading Team celebrated their 3rd annual end of the year dinner and awards night!

Although the UTSC Cheer Team has been around for almost 6 years, our award night tradition only started a few years ago! Having an awards night gives us the opportunity to acknowledge every member of the team and their contributions throughout the year as well as highlight the members who went above and beyond and improved their skills from the beginning of the year!

We also acknowledge our president, captains and coach who helped to keep the team running smoothly. Without them, we wouldn't be where we are now! The end of the year dinner is also an opportunity for us to say thank you and goodbye to our graduating members who will join the UTSC Cheerleading Alumni. Although they are leaving the team (or choose to return as alums), they will always be a UTSC Cheerleader! Having an annual awards ceremony also encourages members to work hard throughout the year!

The end of the night! We managed to get a group shot but a lot of people left before we could!

A special thanks goes out to the Membership development team who planned the dinner and awards night! The night was filled with laughter, smiles and good company! Everyone had a good time!
