The Eastern Shore Pop Warner Football and Cheer Association has successfully completed its third year as a chartered member of the Eastern Region of Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. and league member of Henlopen Pop Warner Inc.  We are excited about what 2017 has in store for these stellar student athletes.  Since our inception in 2012 we’ve been able to engage over 150 student athletes between the ages of 5-15 from Cape Charles, VA to Pocomoke City, MD in the sports of football and cheer.  They’ve learned the fundamentals of football and cheer, sportsmanship, and scholastic accountability from a dedicated staff of more than 35 community volunteers. The hard work exhibited by all resulted in a 75% increase in 2016 Carl Walls Scholar Award recipients for participants who maintained a 93% grade point average for the academic year. While the wins continue to increase and players become more competitive on the field; the development of our young athletes has become more visible than ever. In order to continue this upward trend, we’re always looking for support from our local community.

We’ve received contributions from companies like Wal-Mart, Bay Shore Concrete, Therapeutic Interventions, ANEC, Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and many other local and private supporters.  This support has allowed us to keep pace with the steady growth of the organization.  We’ve been able to purchase equipment, uniforms, and provide scholarships for our 2016 participants. However, there are still more student athletes that can benefit from our program. We are making this possible by forming relationships with vendors that are giving us competitive prices for the aforementioned items.  This year we are focusing on field equipment (balls, tackling dummies, cheer mats, blocking sleds, field markers, etc.)  These items are critical to the continued development of our student athletes. There are several ways to help our children become champions through sponsorship.

Your contributions are fully tax deductible. We believe that the mission of helping the future development of youth on the Eastern Shore through scholastic achievement, football, and cheer is worth the investment. Please contact us directly if you’re interested in supporting us.  The 2017 Season begins in August, so don’t forget to check back for the schedule and catch, YOUR Eastern Shore Gators in action.  GO GATORS!
