The Miami Dolphins hit the win column for first time this season with a hard fought victory over the New York Jets. The below photo captures Paige and her teammates gearing up for Victory Monday. Check back with us later in the week for our game day coverage of the cheerleaders.

The ROAR gearing up for Victory Monday, Jaguars over the Jets 29-15.

Went up to Jacksonville to cover the Saints versus Jags. Unfortunately for the home team the Saints marched out of town with a close 13 to 6 win.

This year the Jaguars are playing in their 25th season in the NFL. This homecoming weekend was also one part of Jaguars NFL 100 Fantennial celebration. The Jags welcomed home over 80 members of the Jaguars Legends community to celebrate. About 175 alumni cheerleaders also attended.

Special recognition of the 1995 inaugural season team was honored during pregame ceremonies.  The ROAR alumni gave a very well synchronized dance performance which was then followed by the Air Force fly over. Never gets old saluting that!

At halftime, the Jags celebrated 25 years of Jaguar legends with a special introduction of the Jaguars All-25 as voted on by the local media. The players were escorted on the field through a Teal tunnel of ROAR alumni.

Between multiple activities we chatted with Christy Stechman Zynda, Director of Branded Entertainment, who said ” this is my 22nd season with the team, and to be able to see cheerleaders I cheered with and those I have directed was wonderful! There are so many special memories. It was so nice to get everyone together to celebrate this exciting milestone for our team!”

The Jaguars are a very high class organization, the wins will come.

Enjoy the photos.

MIAMI – Miami Dolphins players Doug Middleton and Christian Wilkins, cheerleaders  Paige, Emily and T.D. visited alex’s place at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to distribute gifts and brighten the spirits of young cancer fighters and their families on Tuesday, Oct. 8. 

“You come here always trying to brighten someone’s day and bring good energy to them. But you always leave with them cheering you up and them bringing you that energy because just knowing what they are going through and how they can still have such a big smile on their face is pretty awesome to see,” Wilkins said. “What they are going through gives me extra motivation. It puts it all into perspective. What I am doing is nothing compared to what they are going through as far as me going out there on the field every day because they are literally fighting for their lives. I’m playing for them.”

“It reminds me of when I was visiting my father at Sylvester when he was being treated for cancer. To see the people that came in to bring a smile to his face just lit me up and to be that part of it in somebody else’s journey — there is nowhere else I would rather be,” Dolphins Cheerleader Paige said.

The children and their families had a chance to interact with the team, get autographs and take photos. The children also received gift bags from AutoNation, a supporter of the DCC, in celebration of the automotive retailer’s DRV PNK Initiative.

“I think it’s a really good thing that they are doing that so the patients can feel better not just when they need transfusions but also feel happy when they come here. It makes it make you want to come here,” alex’s place patient Sophia Treadwell said.

“A visit like this gives their lives a little normalcy. It’s a very welcome distraction to the real reason they’re in clinic today, needle pokes and strong medication, but it also brings joy and smiles getting to meet up close and personal star athletes, professional cheerleaders and the team mascot, something they might otherwise never be able to do. It’s their moment to be special,” alex’s place Child Life Specialist Leslie Hutchins, MS, said.

This visit is in advance to the Dolphins’ Crucial Catch game on Oct. 13 against the Washington Redskins presented by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth, the University of Miami Health System. At this game, the team will celebrate and honor on-field cancer fighters and survivors from Sylvester and researchers who have received funds from the annual Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC) with a halftime presentation.

The Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC) was founded in 2010 by the Miami Dolphins organization as the signature initiative of the Foundation’s health impact area. The DCC’s purpose is to improve people’s lives through financial support for innovative cancer research at Sylvester, South Florida’s only NCI-designated Cancer Center. With this recent recognition from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Sylvester is now among the top cancer centers in the United States and joins a highly select group as one of only two NCI-designated cancer centers in the state of Florida, and one of just 71 across the nation. Since its inception, the DCC has raised more than $32.5 million, donating 100 percent of participant-raised funds to Sylvester.

We enjoyed a very nice visit to Jacksonville to witness the Jaguars dismantling of the Tennessee Titans 20-7 on Thursday Night Football.

TIAA Bank Field was overwhelmed with male and female mustaches as replacement quarterback, Gardner Minshew, has taken over the city. Stories of Minshew’s life adventures has him elevated to the newest cult figure in Florida. He set all sorts of passing records at Washington State University and based upon his first three pro games he definitely seems NFL ready.

The ROAR, the Jacksonville Jaguar’s Cheerleaders, are an integral part of the Jags home game entertainment package. They visit with fans pregame on the plaza, posting for photos and signing autographs. On the field they were certainly ready to perform, not missing a dance step in constant “on again off again” rain. The ROAR are under the direction of Christy Stechman Zynda, Director of Branded Entertainment for the Jaguars. We thank her for allowing Ultimate Cheerleaders to photograph her talented and beautiful ladies.

Emily was honored as the cheerleader of the game. This is her fifth season as a member of the ROAR, and she is a second year captain. Enjoy the photos of all the ladies in their striking iconic teal outfits.
