Spirit Celebration

  • Established in 1998, Spirit Celebration is a dedicated caring family that celebrates athletes, parents, fans & coaches while delivering events that provide a magical atmosphere.
  • Our Grand Nationals supports local charities by hosting a toy drive at the event. Athletes get to watch the stack of gifts pile up to make a difference during the holidays!
  • Spirit Celebration also thrives on philanthropic ventures and partnerships with Scottish Rite, I Can Still Shine, Dallas Association of the Deaf, and Autism Speaks.

Spirit Celebration takes pride in celebrating the athleticism of cheerleaders from all over the country, as well as making a commitment to keeping all their coaches, parents, and fans apprised of new and exciting opportunities in the cheer and dance industry.
