TopCats

The TopCats, the Carolina Panthers Cheerleaders, help cheer the Panthers to victory and entertain fans at every home game at Bank of America Stadium. A group of 27 women, the TopCats represent all regions of the Carolinas and range in age from 21 to 36 years old. Their careers are in a variety of professions, including business, finance, medicine and teaching.

Auditions for the TopCats are a comprehensive and intense process. The final squad members are selected based on their personalities, showmanship, dance skills and physical fitness.

The TopCats are visible throughout the Carolinas at corporate appearances and charitable events. With a variety of music selections and dance styles, the TopCats appeal to Carolina Panthers fans of all ages.

The TopCats staff includes Tina Becker and Richelle Grant. Becker is the cheerleader/mascot manager and oversees all aspects of both programs. Grant serves as the coordinator/choreographer and is responsible for appearances and other elements of the cheerleader program.
