McBride, Sydney

In 2007, Sydney McBride opened her own small business- a youth athletic cheerleading facility, called Shine Athletics. The business was built from the ground up as a creative vision in her head to give girls a positive place to participate in athletic activities. In 2009, she founded a Non Profit Community Fundraising event to support youth athletes and help grow the sport of cheerleading. It is her hope that by sharing her story of overcoming the adversity and struggle, she can encourage young adults to believe in themselves and turn their own dreams into realities.
