Cheer New York is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization composed of all-volunteer LGBTQ+ and ally cheerleaders. Our mission is to use our athletic and philanthropic abilities to empower and affect change in our communities through charitable action.

Since Cheer New York was founded in 2001, we have been serving the Tri-State Area by inspiring and encouraging audiences wherever we perform and by raising money for locally-based LGBTQ+ charities through our New York Spirit Fund.  

Cheer New York has cultivated a confident and empowered team that celebrates individuality and embraces all genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and body shapes.  We strive to represent the highest standard of mutual respect and equality within our team and in our city. 

In just over twenty years, we have gained international reach and evolved into an expansive philanthropic organization with a Board of Directors dedicated to furthering Cheer New York’s mission.
