Riverdale High School's Varsity Cheer team will be participating in the 2023 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. The cheerleaders will be marching and performing in the parade, donning bright pink and yellow cheer uniforms that are hard to miss. They have been preparing for this event since the early hours of the morning and will be leaving the staging area at 8:30 am.
What makes their participation even more heartwarming is that they are allowed to bring two pieces of warm clothing or blankets to keep them toasty during the chilly parade. However, they leave these items in the staging area, where they are collected and given to the homeless.
This tradition by the Riverdale High School cheerleaders adds a heartwarming touch to the Thanksgiving Day Parade, showcasing their dedication to both their performance and giving back to the community. As the parade makes its way through the streets of New York City, keep an eye out for these talented and compassionate cheerleaders from Riverdale High School.
