Ask every member of the squad to sell a certain amount of products.
Cheerleaders provide enthusiasm and motivation to teams and fans. Some squads attend competitions that allow cheer teams to demonstrate their skills and earn recognition. Cheerleading teams depend on fundraising to purchase new equipment and pay for traveling expenses for such events. Sometimes, booster clubs must use more than one method to generate needed funds during the cheering season. Pep up the team's fund by incorporating tried and true methods with exciting fundraising avenues.
Green Fundraisers
Many people like fundraisers that promote recycling and use natural ingredients. Sell green items like recycled pencils that have scents or all-natural candles. Reusable grocery bags with the team's name printed on them also make good fundraising products. Buy personalized seed packets or flower bulbs. Other green ideas like selling recycled wrapping paper and greeting cards are big hits among eco-friendly crowds.
Fun Services
A good ideas for fundraising with little startup money is offering services. Easy ideas like a car wash or window cleaning are practical services anyone can do. Other ideas are wrapping gifts for the holidays or hosting a Mom's Day Out. Teams can rake yards, hang Christmas lights or do household chores for a fee. Teach the squad some leadership skills and raise money by hosting cheer camps.
Sweet Treats
Sell sweet snacks like chocolate-covered apples and strawberries. Ask parents to bake cookies, cakes and pies and hold a bake sale. Take orders for fudge, pralines or divinity candy. Raise funds buy selling cheesecakes and other specialty desserts. Frozen cookie dough and buckets of candies are popular products to sell.
Team T-Shirts
Design a cheer T-shirt for supporters to purchase and wear. Sell shirts with V-neck collars, polo style or jersey football shirts. Make the shirts powder or neon pink with the squad's name on the back and pocket. You'll have to take the money and orders in advance to have them printed in one order. Besides T-shirts, you could sell hats, visors and umbrellas to support the team.
Hair Accessories
If you have some crafting parents in your squad, order a variety of hair bows to sell. Hair accessories like fluffy bows, decorative headbands and hair ribbons are a fun way for fans to show team spirit. Use paint pens to write peppy messages on the bows like "Go Tigers!" or "Yeah, Ashley!" You could also buy plain bows and dress them up with pens.
