WSF is widely recognized as the original "Innovators" in the cheer and dance industry. Founded in 2001, the original company vision was to offer high quality events for coaches, by coaches.
WSF has a long track record of industry firsts. In 2004, we were an inaugural company member of the NACCC and in 2005 we hosted the first "bid event" for all our championship clients in Las Vegas that was a culmination of that competition season, and a true “Championship of Champions.” WSF was also the first company to bring “FREE” admission to the spirit industry. Parents, coaches and cheerleading enthusiasts everywhere raved about this initiative and many other event producers have followed suit with free admission programs since that time.
Our belief that technology could be better used to enhance the competitive experience of our clients led to the creation of our WSF digital scoring system.
2006 marked the year of our $50,000 cash prize give away. Teams from all over the United States competed at multiple WSF events for an unprecedented cash reward.
In 2007, with the global green movement at an all-time high WSF once again looked to technology to provide greater customer service by offering the 1st ever online registration process for our events. With less paperwork to complete, and an integrated process competing with WSF was now easier than ever before, and again our competitors followed our lead changing the way teams register for events industry wide.
In 2008 and 2009, we shifted our focus to the judging component of our championships. We were determined to elevate this crucial part at competitive events. Not only did we develop the first ever comprehensive scoring ranges that followed the USASF Guidelines and then in 2009, we introduced and created first ever judges visual voice critique for coaches.
As we approach our first decade of providing high quality, state-of-the art competition experiences for the world's best cheerleaders and dancers one thing remains certain. WSF remains the “Innovators in Cheer and Dance”!

When Unite for HER founder Sue Weldon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, she began searching for information on therapies that would complement the medical treatments she was receiving. What she discovered was a lack of easily accessible resources on topics like nutrition, acupuncture, massage, yoga, counseling and other ways for breast cancer patients to enhance their wellness and care for their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs.
Since its establishment as a nonprofit organization in 2009, Unite for HER’s cornerstone has been to bridge that gap for breast cancer patients, focusing on wellness initiatives that will positively impact their health, as well as the health of all women and girls.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between the medical and wellness communities by funding and delivering complementary therapies that support the physical and emotional needs of those with breast cancer during treatment and beyond. We educate our women and the community about the role of healthy lifestyle choices in the prevention of disease and the promotion of wellness.
In 2009, with the support and partnership of AJS Pancott Gymnastics, Unite for HER created the Pink Invitational~Gymnasts Unite fundraising and outreach event. The Pink Invitational unites gymnasts in a USA- sanctioned meet where athletes compete in a sport they love while supporting breast cancer initiatives and learning about the importance of lifelong wellness.
Each year over 3,000 gymnasts participate and 10,000 attendees gather in unity to honor and celebrate the lives of those touched by the disease. Be assured that 100% of the net proceeds from this meet go directly to caring for the physical and emotional needs of breast cancer patients in the local and gymnastics communities.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine was founded by a small group of fertility experts who met in Chicago in 1944. Distinguished members of ASRM have led the development of the field of reproductive medicine. They were the first physicians to perform many of the standard procedures used by fertility specialists today, including donor insemination and in vitro fertilization; they have developed new approaches to contraception and ovulation induction that are still in use; and they have helped form key legislation and fought for reproductive rights when public policy in reproductive matters did not exist.
Today, ASRM members reside in all 50 of the United States and in more than 100 other countries. The Society is multidisciplinary, with members including obstetrician/gynecologists, urologists, reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists, mental health professionals, internists, nurses, practice administrators, laboratory technicians, pediatricians, research scientists, and veterinarians. The ASRM has an administrative office in Birmingham, Alabama, and a public affairs office in Washington, D.C. Policy is set by an elected Board of Directors and implemented by an Executive Director and an accomplished staff.
