Bridget Watkins
Living the Busey promise in her community, Bridget Watkins, Universal Banker II, is being recognized as Busey’s Volunteer of the Month.
Bridget has made remarkable contributions through her dedicated role as the Head Coach for the competitive Cape Coral Youth Cheerleading team. Leading a squad of 32 enthusiastic five and six-year-olds, Bridget commits up to five nights a week to practice and supports her team at Saturday games. Her passion for cheerleading, which began when she joined the same program at the age of five, is evident in her unwavering enthusiasm and commitment. For the past five years, Bridget has not only passed along her skills but also inspired a passion for the sport among her young athletes.
Her impact extends beyond the cheer mat, as Bridget's dedication to her team is matched by her long-term vision for the sport. Her future goal of becoming the head cheer coordinator and helping to run the non-profit organization speaks to her deep-rooted commitment to cheerleading and community service. The joy and eagerness that her athletes display each practice is a testament to Bridget's inspiring leadership and the positive environment she has developed.
Congratulations, Bridget!
