Calling All NFL/NBA Alumni: Are you Sweetheart Material?

Sweethearts for Soldiers is accepting applications for their 2011 group!

“Sweethearts for Soldiers” is the brain child of former NFL Cheerleaders Bari Yonkers and Tonya Helman. During their time with the NFL, both women had the opportunity to participate in several tours in support of our military and felt it was one of the most rewarding aspects of the job. In 2006, Bari and Tonya dreamed up Sweethearts for Soldiers as a way to continue supporting the military, even after retiring their pom poms. They began with just a handful of former cheerleaders. Today the group has grown to include over two dozen women, who are alumni of more 17 different NFL and NBA dance teams. The Sweethearts produce a yearly charity calendar, visit military bases stateside and overseas, and take their variety show on the road as a way to give back to those who fight for us on a daily basis.
