Halloween on Halsted - October 31

Dennis flying on Halloween 2007CSB will once again wow the crowds and keep the spooky spirit alive at Halloween on Halsted! Last year we raised almost $2000 for Lakeview Pantry during the parade and stage show, and this year we will be fundraising for Housing Opportunities for Women with a goal to raise even more.

Come out to watch us perform in costume and enjoy all of the Halloween festivities, including a costume contest and some amazing floats. CSB will walk in the parade beginning at 7pm and then perform at the stage near 7-Eleven after the parade. Don't miss a single moment, and bring some cash to drop in our SPIRIT BUCKETS for Housing Opportunities for Women!

For more information about our events, contact info@chicagospiritbrigade.org

CSB Featured Star - Garren Fox

Garren with megaphonePrevious cheerleading or athletic experience: I cheered in college, and ran track until my knees gave out.

Activities outside of CSB: I love being outside, especially this time of year. Nothing like a cool fall evening, football games, and hot chocolate. I am fairly new to Chicago so I am enjoying getting to know the city.

I cheer with CSB because: I like what CSB stands for. It has become my family away from "home." Cheering keeps me in shape and has allowed me to meet some great people.

A little known fact about Garren: He won the Gold Star Award for Perfect Attendance both of his two years on the squad so far! This is a testament to his great dedication to the mission of CSB!
