An Oswego cheerleading squad earned a spot at a national cheerleading competition in Orlando, Florida, and the team is seeking donations to help them get there.

The Oswego Bears Junior Pee Wee squad competed at the Pop Warner regional competition in DeKalb last weekend and qualified for the national competition at ESPN’S Wide World of Sports.

Cheer coordinator Andrea Dial said the team plans to depart for the Walt Disney World Resort on Dec. 6. The team will compete against squads from across the country on Dec. 8.

A donation website has been set up to help the girls, coaches and their families make the trip to Florida.
