Gravity Cares

 In 2016, spearheaded by a volunteer cheer parent, Gravity began it’s program of giving back and spreading awareness with Gravity Cares.  Throughout the year, Gravity members, cheerleaders and parents alike, get together to help to collect items, volunteer, raise funds and most importantly raise awareness for a variety of causes.   

Causes we have helped along the way are: 

• Empire Challenge, benefiting the Boomer Esiason Foundation and Cystic Fibrosis, annually.
• Childhood Epilepsy Awareness
• Red Nose Day
• St. Jude’s
• Make-A-Wish Foundation of Suffolk County NY
• Cohen’s Children’s Hospital
• The Miracle League
• Kent Animal Shelter
• Little Flower Children’s Home
• Safe House of L.I.
• E.J. Autism Foundation
• Coastal Cleanup at Smithpoint Beach
• Taylor’s Hope
•  Histiocytosis Awareness
•  Treats for Troops 
• Church of Good Shepard, Holbrook
• Long Island Cares
• Gavin's Got Heart Foundation

 A major part of our Gravity Cares program is our special needs team “Shooting Stars“.  Led by Coaches Victoria and Brianna and managed by our volunteer parents, our full year cheerleaders help their Shooting Star team mates learn and perform their own routine.  Gravity has been fortunate to have three seasons working with our talented Shooting Stars.  They have made appearances locally at Sachem Youth Sports Club’s home cheer competition and a Spirit Brand’s local competition at Stony Brook University.
