Go Dukes! Support Duquesne University Cheerleaders!

Who We Are

The Duquesne University Cheerleading Team is a group of 22 student-athletes who, fueled by our passion and spirit for Duquesne Athletics, energize our sports teams and the great Dukes fans who attend games. We are also involved with many charity and community events throughout the academic year.

We are coached by two Duquesne University alumni who stress the traditions of Duquesne Athletics and the rich history of its Cheerleading team. Practice on Sundays and strength and conditioning two other days of the week is the necessary preparation for us to perform cheers, stunts, dance, tumble, and do anything we can to fire up Duquesne fans. Our t-shirt tosses during breaks in games are sure to get you on your feet!

Duquesne Dukes Athletic Events

We cheer at all home football games at Arthur J. Rooney Athletic Field and every men’s and women’s home basketball game. Additionally, you can see us at one or more Duquesne volleyball games each year and other special events hosted by Duquesne Athletics.

Campus and Community Involvement

True to Duquesne’s mission, we volunteer our time to bring our dynamic energy to philanthropic and community activities/organizations, such as:

  • The American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer Program
  • The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk
  • Spring Clean-Up
  • Best Buddies, the world’s largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
  • Shining Stars, a special needs cheerleading program

We also maintain an active campus presence in hopes to bring a smile to the faces of alumni, the student body and future generations of Dukes at these eventst:

  • DuquesneFest
  • Fall Open House
  • Freshman Orientation
  • Homecoming
  • Pep rallies
  • Pre-game events
  • And other school Spirit activities

Why We Need Your Support

With excellent athletic teams to cheer for, a dedicated fan base to perform in front of, the opening of the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse in our sights, and a squad that is thrilled to play a key role in all of this excitement, our program has never been stronger.  That is why we felt the time was right to host our first-ever crowdfunding campaign and ask for your support. A successful crowdfunding campaign can help take us to even greater heights and will help to offset the costs of:

  • Potential competitions
  • New uniforms
  • Practice gear
  • Equipment such as signs, megaphones, pom poms, flags, etc.
  • Winter coats
  • Rain gear

We ask that you please donate today and send our page to anyone you know who may be interested in supporting our team. Even $10 will go a long way to help us reach our goal. We love to meet our fans and want to personally thank our donors so please make sure to introduce yourself to us at games!

Don’t forget to also follow us on Instagram @Duquesne_Cheer to stay informed about all things Duquesne Cheerleading! Go Dukes!
