We first heard about the Cactus Cuties through a video that had been sent around in a mass email. The video shows 5 girls [ages 8-13] singing the National Anthem at the Texas Tech vs Texas basketball game on January 20, 2008 in front of over 11,000 people. We were immediatly stunned at how amazing their performance was. The video has close to 5 million views on Youtube [4x the amount of views from when we first saw it] and is truly a great example of the pride & talent that exists amoung young Americans. Check out the video here.

We sent the Cactus Cuties some TakePride t-shirts and they sent us an awesome photo for the blog.
