Financial Expectations

Our season would not exist without family donations and fundraising! These are some of the costs you can expect during the season.

Cheer Camp: $375

Uniform Items: $585

Practice Gear: $335

Program Fees: $1,250

Nationals Hotel Room: $1,250  (This room is for the cheerleader and their family members to stay in for 3 nights)

All fundraising and company matching is split evenly among team members to offset the donations needed to cover the many costs of our program. We have consistenly been able to fundraise $25,000+ each season which brings down the cost tremondously for our cheer families.
