Respect * Pride * Commitment
Monmouth University's Cheerleading squad aims to unite the
students, alumni and fans in support of Monmouth University and its athletes.
We vow to honor old traditions, while continuing to spread Monmouth Pride
throughout the school and community.
As a team, we will motivate and encourage each other to achieve
our greatest potential and exceed our goals from the previous seasons. We
recognize that this program is not built on one person, but on the hard work
and dedication of the entire team. We will practice and perform with heart,
always giving 110%. We will continue to lead by example and exhibit our respect
for our teammates, our coach, ourselves and our University. Our dedication and
commitment to Monmouth Cheerleading will be exemplified in our leadership both
on and off the field.
We will strive to be our best and to make Monmouth Cheerleading an
exemplary program across the nation.
Go Hawks!

Competition
Although our primary focus is the support of Athletics, Monmouth
University Cheerleading is a competitive program. The team first competed, and
placed first, in 2011 at Rider University in a Gotta Cheer competition. This
year was the first time the program has competed on a national level. The team
went to UCA College Nationals and Monmouth is currently placed 5th
in the All-Girl Division 1 category.
Community Service
Monmouth University Cheerleading strongly believes in giving back
to the community. In addition to supporting the University, the Football team,
Men’s and Woman’s Basketball teams, and competition, the Monmouth Cheerleaders
participate in a number of community service events.
Making Strides against Breast Cancer
Make a difference. Make
history. Make Strides
Since 2004, the Monmouth University Cheerleaders have annually
participated in the Point Pleasant Breast Cancer Walk. Every year we proudly
wear our breast cancer awareness shirts, and raise funds to donate to the
American Cancer Society. This year the walk was held on Sunday, October 21,
2011. This year the cheerleaders helped to raise over $1,300 in support of this
event. For any additional information please contact cball@monmouth.edu or click on the link Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
The Big Event
“The Big Event has become somewhat of a national
phenomenon at a number of colleges and universities throughout the United
States”
Another annual community service event the Monmouth University
Cheerleaders participate in is the Big Event. Through this program the
cheerleaders are able to give back to the community that supports them
throughout the year. Some services have included but are not limited to,
cleaning rivers, churches, painting houses, cleaning/organizing the Madonna
House, and helping at the Boy’s & Girl’s club. The 13th annual
Big Event was held on Saturday October 6, 2012. For additional information on
this year’s event click on the link The Big Event.
Relay for Life
Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back
In 2008, Relay for Life joined the Monmouth University Campus in
efforts to raise money and bring awareness to cancer. Since then, the Monmouth
University Cheerleaders have been fortunate enough to help kick-off the opening
ceremonies. This is a noble cause where participants camp-out overnight, taking
turns walking around the track helping to raise funds to fight cancer. If you
are interested in participating in this event with the cheerleaders on April 26,
2013 please email cball@monmouth.edu and for more information please click on
the link www.relayforlife.org.
