Cheer for the Cure Pink Out Game 

Johns Creek High School Cheerleaders are raising money for the Karen Wellington Foundation (KWF) for LIVING with Breast Cancer at their Pink Out game on October 21st. 

 

There will be a silent auction, T-Shirt Sales and amazing raffle items.  This is an annual fundraiser, and we would love the Johns Creek community’s help!  100% of the money raised goes to the KWF and will send a woman in our community who is battling breast cancer on a trip of a lifetime. 

 

Come cheer on our Gladiators during their Pink Out game and help support the Karen Wellington Foundation for LIVING with Breast Cancer!
