Oct 08, 2020 Fabletics to Continue as the Official Activewear Apparel Partner of Varsity Spirit Through 2024 Memphis, TN, October 8, 2020 – Varsity Spirit—the global leader in apparel, camps and competitions for cheerleaders, dance teams and bands, and a division of Varsity Brands, the market leader in team sports, school spirit and achievement recognition—announced that it has extended its partnership with Fabletics, the global active lifestyle brand co-founded by Kate Hudson in 2013. Based on the success of their initial two-year partnership, Varsity Spirit is proud to have Fabletics sign on through 2024, so that they can continue bringing the Fabletics lifestyle to the cheer and dance community. Fabletics will bring their experiential pop-up shops to up to 20 premier championship cheerleading and dance competitions each season, and have a presence at events held at the Walt Disney World® Resort. The activations will give attendees the chance to preview, try on and buy Fabletics apparel from the women’s and men’s lines in a setting that will offer wellness activities such as yoga and meditation, as well as a lounge area for friends and family to relax and recharge. This season, Fabletics pop-up shops and experiences at Varsity Spirit events will included enhanced safety measures, allowing visitors to engage with the collections and shop the brands comfortably and safely. “Our customers love the on-site shopping experience Fabletics provides at our events,” said John Newby, Executive Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and General Manager of Varsity All Star. “We are excited to extend our partnership to elevate the spectator experience at Varsity Spirit events and extend member specials through our social media channels. Fabletics has been a fantastic partner for the last two years, and we are excited to see what the future holds for our partnership.” Varsity Spirit has been a steward for spirit teams for more than 45 years, serving over a million athletes each year through educational training camps, apparel and accessories, and competitive experiences.
