My Project

Our school provides zero funding for our cheer and basketball teams. We are in a low-income, high-need area and it cost ZERO dollars to be on the team, meaning everything is provided to the boys and girls on our teams and provided through (unpaid) coaches and donations. The cheerleaders are fundraising in the fall to get uniforms and with this DonorsChoose we can keep that fundraising goal as low as possible. If we can get their undershirts, bags and water bottles funded through this, that leaves only shoes, shells, and skirts.

Last year, we were moments away from not being able to have a cheer team.

We had no funding, short notice that we needed to be fundraising and only a month to make it happen. I had the kids coming to be everyday asking when we were going to be starting and I was terrified I was going to have to say never. We made do with what little we had remaining from the year before and even managed to support our team all the way to championships (and win!), but it was hard. With this extra support I hope that we can be more prepared and provide a full experience to these wonderful kiddos.
