NEW YORK SPIRIT FUND
Through our New York Spirit Fund, Cheer New York raises money for locally-based charities that advocate for equality for the LGBTQ+ community. Each year, our members select a new charity to be the recipient of the New York Spirit Fund. The team fundraises throughout the year before presenting this New York Spirit Fund Donation to our beneficiary.
In the past five years alone, Cheer New York has donated over $90,000 to supporting our local LGBTQ+ community. Funds are also raised to help Cheer New York continue to thrive in our role as certified 501(c)3 nonprofit team of all volunteer members.
Cheer New York is proud to support Love Wins Food Pantry as the 2024 beneficiary of our New York Spirit Fund. Love Wins Food Pantry is a Queer-centric and volunteer-led effort addressing food insecurity among our neighbors in New York City. Learn More @ https://www.lovewinsnyc.org/
