Description Program Srvc AccomCHEER San Francisco, the Official Cheer Team of the City and County of San Francisco, has been thrilling crowds locally, nationally, and internationally for the last 35 years with a unique brand of high-energy performances. This all-volunteer group is dedicated not only to providing polished entertainment but also to the philanthropic mission of the squad, serving as true ambassadors of goodwill to the communities in which we perform.The number of parades and other in-person events in the 2019-2020 year was greatly reduced relative to the previous years due to the pandemic. We were, however, able to continue our support and engagement with the community through virtual events. We will resume our robust performance schedule as soon as we are able to do so safely. The core team of 60 individuals works together with about 40 additional volunteers to develop cutting-edge cheerleading shows for annual events like the Castro Street Fair in the fall and Pride parades and festivals in the spring and summer. Throughout the year, CHEER SF enjoys the challenge of preparing for corporate events, community fundraisers, private parties, and more. Our charitable cheerleading efforts are a year-round labor of love that we embrace and cherish.Achievements & Accolades: CHEER SF has achieved immense success in our 36-year history. Our performances have touched millions of people around the world, and our fundraising has impacted the lives of thousands with life-challenging conditions.
