True Colors by Cheer Miami

This month marks the final video in PCA's True Colors series! Give it up for Cheer Miami! Cheer Miami was founded in 2020, committed to raising awareness and resources for organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community in Miami and its surrounding areas. “Our goals are simple: We cheer. We raise money. We give back to the community.” When you’re following Cheer Miami on Facebook and Instagram (@cheermiami) and TikTok (@cheer_miami), your eyes can’t miss their vibrant colors and dynamic content! Learn more about those colors in this final PCA True Colors video!

Gay Games Guadalajara

Gay Games 11 Guadalajara 2023 is right around the corner (November 1-12, 2023) and you only have until September 30 to Register! REGISTER HERE to participate in Cheerleading (and other events) at Gay Games. Learn more about it here on PCA’s Gay Games 11 page.

 

What do we do and why do we do it? PCA governs Cheerleading at Gay Games and encourages volunCHEERleaders from all over to participate for these main purposes: to support LGBTQ+ athletics, to support the LGBTQ+ community, to further LGBTQ+ causes worldwide, and, as the motto of Gay Games goes, to experience PARTICIPATION, INCLUSION, and strive for PERSONAL BEST!
 

PCA organizes “Spirit Exhibition” appearances at Opening Ceremonies, Closing Ceremonies, cultural demonstrations and festivals, Gay Games community gathering areas, and various sporting events to cheer on other athletes! PCA also hosts a Charitable Cheerleading Competition - now a List A Sport at Gay Games. ​The competitive divisions are “Group Stunt,” “Partner Stunt” and “Pom Dance.” Scoresheets and rulebooks will be shared SOON on PCA’s Gay Games 11 page and - at the same time - will also be shared directly with PCA Delegation and identified Gay Games leaders. (For Group Stunt and Partner Stunt divisions, a good reference is the competition materials from Sin City Classic 2023. There will be only minor changes.)

 

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! On August 3, we announced our primary beneficiary: Mesón de la Misericordia Divina AC (Mesón A.C.)! Mesón A.C. @elmesonac is a nonprofit civil association that offers a comprehensive response to the challenges that HIV and AIDS pose today. Services focus on prevention, medical treatment, palliative care, and optimizing access for the most vulnerable clients: immigrants, pregnant people, sex workers, Queer community.
 

We are so moved by this cause and eager to start collecting money in our "alcancías de espíritu" (Spirit Buckets) for Mesón A.C.! The fundraising will start in a couple months!
