Cheer + Dance Team Fundraising
Cheer and Dance Team Fundraising That Actually Raises Enough
Cheer and dance fundraising is often underestimated — competitions are expensive, costumes are replaced annually, and travel adds up fast. The average cheer family pays $2,000–4,000/year out of pocket. A team-level fundraiser that raises $2,000 per campaign genuinely moves the needle.
Worked example
The fundraising math
A 25-person squad running two campaigns a year. Each one: 60 tumblers at $30, with $9.00 a tumbler to the squad — $540. Fall plus spring is $1,080 toward competition travel, and neither campaign needs a single box handled by a parent.
Your organization keeps a flat 30% of the price on every product, from the first order — there is no tier to unlock and nothing to buy up front. Model your own campaign.
Buying up front instead? An organization that can front the cash, pick sizes and colors blind, and hand out the boxes itself can beat 30% at volume — that is a bulk order, not a campaign store, and it cannot carry a different name on each item.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can we use the team’s competition colors on the tumblers?
Yes. Bring your team’s hex codes or Pantone references and we match as closely as the tumbler color options allow. Most teams find that the logo engraving looks sharp on any base color — engraving is monochromatic regardless of the tumbler finish.
Can we add individual cheerleader names to separate tumblers?
Yes. We can set up individual name variants in your campaign. Supporters choose their cheerleader’s name at checkout. It turns a team fundraiser into a personalized keepsake — which means parents are more likely to buy and more likely to share the link.
Can we run a fundraiser timed to nationals?
Absolutely. A "Road to Nationals" campaign is a natural hook that creates urgency. Run it 6 weeks before nationals, close it 3 weeks before, ship in standard production (5–7 business days). Supporters receive the tumbler before you leave, which builds excitement.
What is the minimum number of orders to make a fundraiser worth running?
Twenty tumblers at $30 raises $180, and a finished campaign is paid whatever it earned — there is no floor to clear. We still recommend setting a goal of 30+ orders and sharing with siblings, extended family and alumni, because participation is the only lever that changes the total.
