As many of you know (or may not) know, I spent 2 years as a member of CHEER San Francisco, an all-adult volunteer cheerleading team that raises awareness, funds and spirit, in the name of charity, for those in need in our community.
Although my professional career has taken me out of San Francisco, In November, I am participating and competing with my CheerSF Pom Team in Gay Games 11 Guadalajara 2023. 

Along with competing, I'll be fundraising with charitable cheerleaders from the Pride Cheerleading Association (PCA). My competition groups will receive a fundraising score based on the amount I raise right here on Givebutter.com!

When charitable cheerleaders activate, a major goal is to raise funds for charity! We give back to the causes that allow LGBTQ+ athletics to grow and flourish. We give back to the local communities in which we perform!

From the funds raised by charitable cheerleaders online and in person at Gay Games, PCA will make impactful donations to charity! PCA has selected a local primary beneficiary in Guadalajara, Mesón de la Misericordia Divina AC: "a nonprofit civil association that offers a comprehensive response to the challenges that HIV and AIDS pose today." Their services focus on prevention, exams, medical treatment, palliative care, and optimizing access for the most vulnerable clients (immigrants, pregnant women, sex workers, Queer community). A secondary, like-minded beneficiary will be the Federation of Gay Games with PCA's donation going toward the FGG Scholarship Program.
