Eagles Cheerleaders Alumni Reunion
Saturday night on The Moshulu at the Penn’s Landing, five decades of Eagles Cheerleaders reunited to celebrate the past and to kickoff the start of the NFL Alumni Philadelphia Cheerleaders organization.
Alumni Media Relations Director Monica Devlin (left) with former teammate Allison. Monica promised me I’d see a lot of familiar faces and she wasn’t wrong.
Kate Osman (left) and Theresa Vitelli. Theresa was the cover girl for the 2004 Eagles Cheerleaders Swimsuit Calendar. You may remember Kate as the right fielder for the LaSalle University Softball Team. The very charming Kate is now a travel agent and part-time model.
Erin Stetser Goga was from the next town over from where I grew up, and it was quite a thrill to meet her. Here she holds up her calendar photo. (I had that calendar once)
Another alum I was thrilled to meet: Nicole Garis McCarthy. Nicole was featured prominently in the Eagles Cheerleaders segment in the 1992 Polygram Video Pro Football’s Hottest Cheerleaders. She was also Miss Delaware USA in 1995.
But there was more to the night than seeing old friends and making new ones. There was a silent auction held with the goal of raising $10,000 for youth charities.
Sharon Sweeney (left) and Marylou Tammaro received Achievement Awards. Sharon was the last coach of the Eaglettes in 1977 and the first director of the Liberty Belles in 1978. Marylou was a Cheerleader, Choreographer and Director in a career that spanned more than 20 years.
Quarterback Joe Pisarcik, was with the Eagles the year they went to Super Bowl XV. He’s now President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the NFL Players Alumni, and he spoke to the audience to about the important work that the Players and Cheerleaders Alumni organizations do.
Plus, over forty years worth of memorabilia, from uniforms to old news stories were on display.

I was a Philadelphial Eaglette from 1972-1978 and am curious as to how this event was advertised. I really would have liked to attend.
I was a Cheerleader under Sharon Sweeney in the later 70’s! Hi Cathy, I see you posted! How was this planned also? I am quite upset that all the former Girls weren’t notified or it wasn’t advertised in the Phila Area. My friend just saw my Facebook page with Eagle Cheerleader pics and told me that there was a reunion! Then I googeled it! Wow,,, I am sure many missed out on a great event! How do you get on the list?
It is good to see the Eagles organization cherish their cheer squads from the past as well as the present.
Seeing how Erin Stetser has changed since her days in the green and white was quite remarkable, and I wish her all the best!
