Each time CHEER San Francisco performs at an event, we take along our spirit buckets to receive the generous donations of spectators who are thrilled and inspired by our performances. The spirit buckets help to fill our CHEER FOR LIFE Fund which supports organizations that provide direct-care services to people facing life-threatening challenges including HIV/AIDS and cancer. A pre-selected qualifying organization at each major performance, including our out-of-town performances, then receives a check.

CHEER San Francisco is committed to keeping the doors open at organizations who are working so hard on the front lines of these epidemics, providing excellent services and care to so many people in need.

How did it start?
CHEER San Francisco has always been extremely proud of its philanthropic mission and services to the community. What started out as a five-person performance group supporting local fundraisers has grown into a powerhouse squad of more than 30 performing members and a handful of irreplaceable auxiliary members doing direct fundraising.

What we had begun to notice was that monies and organizations for HIV/AIDS related care had begun to dry up and we realized that we could do something about it. The CHEER FOR LIFE Fund was established to formalize what the squad had been doing all along: giving back to the community.

How you can help.
There are many events where CHEER San Francisco is invited to perform but is not allowed to collect donations for the CHEER FOR LIFE Fund. By becoming a sponsor, or donating now, your tax-deductible financial support enables CHEER San Francisco to continue to accept these invitations and at the same time keep focused on our annual goal of raising at least $25,000 and at every event an organization providing direct care services to some individual in need will benefit as a recipient of funding from the CHEER FOR LIFE Fund.

These added performances would allow us to do what we do best: Execute extreme stunts and powerful dance routines as a means to entertain, inspire and motivate audiences to strive for personal excellence while celebrating the beauty and unity of diverse people. For you see, we truly believe the human spirit has no limits and together we can build great strength and reach new heights. Together WE CAN make a difference!
