Easy ways to earn cheerleading funds

1. Selling candies 

Deemed as one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to earn, selling candies may not turn a big profit at the beginning but at least you have started something. Your customers can be anyone; neighbors, classmates, teachers, and many more. Gather up your friends after school and practice, buy the necessary ingredients then get down to business by making those candies. Frankly, nothing beats the taste of homemade candies.

To entice your would-be customers, start by giving out samples. Once they have a taste of your products, they will make purchases. The possibility of them buying more than just one package is high since it can also double as a gift item.

2. Promotional school items

Letting the people know about your school is a plus not only for the school itself but for you and your cheerleading team as well. Not only will you provide free promotion for your school, but you will also earn by selling items that have the logo of your school or your own cheerleading badge. Of course, you will need to ask permission from your school’s higher-ups before doing this. After all, who does not want a free promotion, right?

You can make stickers, flyers, flags, pins, specially-designed t-shirts, ballers, socks, keychains, armbands, and many more. You can also bake some cakes with your school’s logo on it. In addition, you can give some of your extra earnings to your school for other activities as well.

3. Create events

These events can be anything; garage sales, photography, or anything that showcases the history of your school, your cheerleading squad, or the community where you are located. You can sell tickets to the event and also place some kiosks inside that will either sell memorabilia, food, and services like sketching/drawing, picture taking, face painting, and many more.

The good thing about this fundraiser is that the whole community will get involved and have a good time at the same time. You can even place some kissing booths or marriage booths for the romantic people out there. That way, not only will you have fun, but you will raise the needed funds for your activities as well.

4. Pet care

For those pet-lovers out there, you can “babysit” your neighbors’ pets if they are too busy to do it themselves. You will serve as their “parents” for a day so you will feed them, bathe them, check on their health and welfare, provide vitamins, and play with them non-stop. Of course, you will also let them rest when it’s time for them to go to sleep.

You can shift turns with your cheerleading squad in taking care of these pets. Not only will you earn some extra money but it will also teach you to become a responsible citizen.

5. Selling pre-loved items

If you and your team have some items that you don’t use anymore like toys, books, clothes, and many others, you can sell them either at a garage sale or an auction-type sale. You can go around the neighborhood and the community to ask for these items from their owners that don’t use them anymore then sell it to get a profit. That way, you can help these people to get rid of their junk since because of their busy schedules, they could not do this on their own.

Conclusion

As you can see, raising funds for your cheerleading activities can be enjoyable and not that hard to do. You will also learn to take obligations to heart and be more responsible. Give these tips a try and always remember to have fun.
