CHEERSPORT's Friday Night Live is a special event that takes place the Friday leading into the CHEERSPORT National All Star Cheerleading Championship where selected teams come together to showcase their incredible routines for a great cause! 25 teams are taking the stage this year to showcase their love for cheer, but also to make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer & other life-threatening diseases. 

CHEERSPORT has been teaming up with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since 2015. Since then, CHEERSPORT & Friday Night Live have been able to raise over 1 million dollars for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The incredible All Star community has been a special part of the mission to help families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. 

25 Level 6 teams are set to take the stage on Friday, February 14, but the best part is there is no winner in terms of performance on stage! The three teams that raise the most amount of money will take home the title! All 25 of these teams have been working in their gyms & communities to raise money leading up to the weekend. Fans can donate now to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by clicking here. Fans can also donate on behalf of their favorite Friday Night Live Team.
