The Bucks County Challenger Football & Cheerleading program is celebrating its 15th anniversary this fall. This 10-week program held at Harry E. Franks Stadium at Neshaminy High School on Sunday mornings brings together coaches and HS football players from Neshaminy, Pennsbury and other teams, cheerleaders, and volunteers who provide a positive, fun, rewarding football and cheer experience for over 80 special needs boys and girls. Started and run by Bob and Joan Wargo, both retired educators at Bensalem and Neshaminy School Districts, the weekly games start like a standard football practice, then after a break the players compete in flag games divided by different age and skill levels. The players and their high school mentors have plenty of time to bond during the games, and friendships are formed between them that often extend past the gridiron into the schools.
