We need your help! You can help cheer on Summer Games athletes from wherever you are. Check out this post for more details!

One of the biggest thrills of competing is being able to hear the roar of the crowd and cheering from fans as you compete. As many of our athletes will still be taking part in our virtual competitions this year, we need your help to keep that excitement going for our athletes!

Helping our athletes is simple!
1. Record a 5-10 second video clip of you, your family or friends cheering on our athletes. Yell, scream, clap, chant, hold up signs, ring your cowbell, do the wave – do whatever you like to do to fire-up our athletes.
2. Send your video to [email protected] by noon Monday, July 12.
