The San Francisco Goldrush are the cheerleading squad of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers.
They were founded in 1983 as one of the first cheerleading squads for a professional football team.[1] They have not only performed throughout the United States, but they are also very involved in many charitable events.[2] They have been featured on many television stations, such as ESPN, the Total Football Network, and the Fox Network in addition to many television shows, such as Entertainment Tonight, MTV, Extra!, and The Leeza Show. They attend every home game and expanded from 36 members to a total of 40 in 2001.
At Kezar Stadium the cheerleaders were called The Niner Nuggets. They were known at the time as the only singing cheerleading squad in the NFL.[3]
