My Project

Our cheerleading team of brilliant and hardworking Black girls is building strength, confidence, and teamwork through every jump, stunt, and chant. To support their development and ensure equitable participation, we need mats for safe tumbling, matching cheer shorts and bows for a uniform look during practice, refillable water bottles for hydration, and sublimation T-shirts for personalized team gear.

These items will help us create a unified, professional practice experience where every girl feels included and seen.

Uniformity builds confidence, minimizes distractions, and promotes pride. Your support ensures that all athletes show up fully prepared—mentally, emotionally, and physically—to represent themselves and their community with excellence.
