The newly formed Canadian Football Cheerleaders Alumni Organization is making noise and connections all across the country. And it’s a chance to do some good, you know.”The CFCAO has already partnered with the CFL Alumni Association and hope to combine their efforts on charitable causes. Former Hamilton cheerleaders Tiffany Beveridge and Raeanne Milovanovic were motivated to spring into action, to defend the honour and contributions of cheerleaders past and present. “They were reaching out to local media, (saying,) ‘We do matter and we did make a contribution.’ So they started a Hamilton alumni group last year and hosted some well-attended events,” said Caddy. I don’t think cheerleaders are perceived in any way as lightweight.
