Pride Cheerleading Association
Cheer New York is a proud member of the Pride Cheerleading Association (PCA). PCA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organized as an affiliation of Member Teams that raise spirits, awareness, and funds for LGBTQ+ causes in their respective communities. Our nationwide volunteer base consists of over 500 LGBTQ+ and ally “volunCHEERleaders” whose performances and philanthropy have driven over $1.4 million in donations to date.
The Pride Cheerleading Association is currently comprised of 14 official Member Teams located across the country: Cheer New York, CHEER San Francisco, Cheer Los Angeles, Chicago Spirit Brigade, Cheer Salt Lake, CHEER Seattle, Cheer DC, CHEER Tacoma, CHEER Colorado, Cheer Austin, Cheer Portland, Cheer Philadelphia, Sacramento Cheer Elite, and Cheer Miami
The Pride Cheerleading Association (PCA) advances charitable cheerleading globally by creating community, developing resources, and spreading cheer in pursuit of equity for every individual in LGBTQ+ spaces and beyond. The PCA Delegation offers representation to each Member Team and acts as a support network to share resources, experiences, and innovations among established and developing LGBTQ community-based cheer teams.
PCA also serves as an association under which all such cheer teams may assemble during the quadrennial GAY GAMES (international, LGBTQ+ sport and cultural event) and other multi-team performance and fundraising events.
