Cheer Station A Cheer Station ... what’s that? A designated group of people showing their collective support for Dempsey Challenge participants! The purpose of Cheer Stations is to assure constant support and encouragement for Dempsey Challenge participants as they journey toward the finish line. Does anything go? Pretty much! Cheer Stations are encouraged to hoot n’ holler, applaud, and otherwise uplift people in creative ways! Groups may choose to bring noise makers or even boom boxes to enhance the audible portion of their Cheer Station. For participants, hearing spirited messages of support and encouragement can get them through a challenging portion of the course.  And often the visual presence of a Cheer Station can be just as powerful!  Groups may choose to show solidarity with matching t-shirts, themed costumes or use signs or banners to display written messages of hope and encouragement. Where will the Cheer Stations be located? I’d love to be on the 10K route to see my friends. Locations for Cheer Stations will be predetermined based upon safety and access. Our Cheer Station coordinator will work with you to ensure that your group is located along your preferred route. How many people do we need to make a Cheer Station? Cheer Stations can be comprised of any number of people from 5 to 25!  There are some locations which can accommodate more people than others.  The Cheer Station coordinator can help determine an appropriate location for your group. What is the time commitment? The time commitment will be determined based upon the route on which your Cheer Station is located. If needed, we can assign two groups with spilt timeframes to cover the same station.  Details of your Cheer Station commitment can be discussed with our Cheer Station coordinator. Sounds fun! How do we sign up? Please contact our Cheer Station coordinator, Donna Beaulieu, for more information and to register your group. Email: beaulieu@cmhc.org
