Dear Cardinals Fans,

My name is Hailee, and this is my first year as a Cardinals Cheerleader!! This has been without a doubt the most incredible experience I have ever had. I feel so honored to be a part of such a prestigious squad and to get to dance with such talented and amazing women. To be a Cardinals Cheerleader has been a dream of mine since I was 12 years old and my dad took me to my first Cardinals game; and the whole time I sat there in awe of the beautiful cheerleaders knowing that I wanted to be on the field just like them. So I counted down the days until I was 18 and could finally audition! Finally becoming a Cardinals Cheerleaders means so much to me and when we come out of the tunnel and you guys start screaming for us I find myself tearing up because I'm so blessed and excited to be a part of the Cardinals Organization.

When I am not cheering on our Arizona Cardinals, I am studying at Arizona State, and also working as a nanny for two awesome kids. I am pursuing a degree in Sports Marketing, which I want to use towards a career in marketing for the NFL. I also love to do anything outdoors! Swimming, biking, rollerblading, and I have a little corgi George who keeps me pretty busy. I am very close to my family and I am with them a lot of the time, I'm the oldest of seven kids so it's never boring! I also try and do as much in the community as I can, I work with different charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Invisible Children, and I am also involved with the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure.

I cannot wait for the rest of the season; there is no other feeling then being on the field with all of you screaming fans and the adrenaline rush we get from your excitement. I look forward to seeing all of you amazing Cardinals Fans in the community and throughout the rest of the 2009 season!

Go CARDINALS!!

Hailee
