"Spirit Against Cancer" Cheer and Dance Competition Cancelled

"Spirit Against Cancer" Cheer and Dance Competition Cancelled

ERIE, Pa. - Due to circumstances beyond our control and scheduling conflicts, we must unfortunately cancel the 2018 Spirit Against Cancer Dance and Cheer Competition. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and your team.

All registrations received up to this point will be fully refunded to the account and address from which they were paid.  If your registration form and payment have been mailed as of today, Tuesday, December 05, 2017, the payment will be immediately returned to you. 

We plan to take this opportunity to examine the structure of our competition and revamp details as necessary to be sure we are meeting our goals. As many of you know, the Spirit Against Cancer is first and foremost a fundraising competition for the Four Diamonds Fund.  The event also serves as an opportunity for regional teams to put their routines on the floor, to test new choreography, and to gain feedback from accredited judges. We plan to restructure the event as needed to highlight these efforts.

With this in mind, if you have attended any of our past competitions, we would appreciate any feedback you can provide to further improve the event.  Our ears are wide open for improvement!

We are currently working to schedule a 2019 event date and will distribute it as soon as possible.

If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
