CheerSafe.org Launches Interactive 'Safety Selfie' Campaign For National Cheerleading Safety Month

MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CheerSafe.org, the portal for news and information on cheerleading safety supported by USA Cheer and the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators, is debuting the #iCheerSafe campaign for National Cheerleading Safety Month for March 2014.

As part of the campaign, cheerleaders and coaches are invited to pledge their adherence to safety rules and guidelines at all times and showcase their support with the Twitter-based #iCheerSafe hashtag. The three-step campaign is simple for today's tech savvy teens:

1. Take the iCheerSafe Pledge at www.cheersafe.org.
2. Take a picture holding a sign with the #iCheerSafe hashtag, or print and hold the certificate from the website.
3. Tweet the picture with the #iCheerSafe hashtag.

During the entire month of March, @USACheer and @CheerSafe will retweet the pictures and post them on www.cheersafe.org.

"We are excited by the enthusiasm cheerleaders and coaches have already shown for the #iCheerSafe campaign," says Karen Lew, Director of Safety for USA Cheer. "Cheerleading safety is at the root of all we do, and this campaign will help raise awareness among the cheerleaders themselves, which is crucial to our mission."

CheerSafe.org is the one source for all cheerleading safety information, from the latest regulations and research to the rules that every team should follow. CheerSafe's mission is to educate parents, cheerleaders and administrators to the facts of cheerleading safety at every level – school, college and all star—and to promote and improve cheerleading safety through the involvement of a wide spectrum of organizations in the cheerleading community.

Joining the CheerSafe campaign are many of the largest organizations in the cheerleading community, including Varsity, Cheer Ltd and the magazines American Cheerleader and Inside Cheerleading.
