GILROY—The Gilroy Browns cheerleaders are headed to Florida.
Both the Junior Peewee and Junior Midget cheer squads punched their tickets to the Pop Warner Cheer and Dance National Championships after placing second at the Pacific Northwest Regional Championship on Nov. 28.
The Junior Midget squad also placed second at the league championships.
The teams will jet off to Orlando on Dec. 6. Competition begins at Disney World on Dec. 8 and concludes on Dec. 12.
Both teams are seeking donations to help the cheerleaders offset the cost of travel. The trip will cost around $1,200 per person, $300 of which is covered by the Browns organization.
