All American Cheerleader


Question Posted Saturday August 2 2008, 12:57 am

Hey guys, its Hollister_lover09
I just made the All American Cheerleading team. I have the chance to go to Orlando to cheer in the half time show of the Capital One Bowl. My mom said that I am for sure going to that one. But my goal, hopes, and dream is to be able to go to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl to cheer in it.
I am asking for any ideas you guys have to raise money for me to go.

I went around today asking for Sponsors and I already have 4 maybe 5 business. Some places told me to come back on monday because thats when the owner would be there.

I called my cheerleading coach and she said we could get the girls to help out. But the thing is, when she will tell the girls that I am going and they are going to help raise money, they will wanna go too. I'm kinda being self fish and I don't want to share my profits, I want this really bad. So any ideas my family and my friends could do.

My ideas
Hot dog sale
Car Wash
and Tin Cans in stores for people to put money in.

Hot dog sale- How does that work? Do we pay say Giant Eagle(its a food store where I live) and they give us the buns and drinks, or what? I'm not sure how that would work..

Car Wash- Would we pay McDonald's to use their lot?

Any more ideas? THANKS!!

Congratulations!

The most successful fundraiser I've ever seen was a car wash where they sold tickets for like 3 to 5 bucks beforehand. This was for the twirlers at my school. They start selling car wash tickets like two months in advance. A lot of people buy the tickets and then forget to go to the car wash (but the twirlers still keep the money). They raise a lot more money that way. Also, be sure to have a donation box at the car wash just in case someone is feeling particularly nice. A car wash is a good fundraiser if you have family members and friends who are willing to work outside for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. Oh, and you don't have to pay to use someone's parking lot. There are many people who will let you use it for free... sometimes car dealerships or places like Wal-Mart, Chick-Fil-A, and Taco Bell will let you use their parking lot free of charge.

Think about having a yard sale too. Get everybody in your house to go through all their crap and you can sell the stuff you don't want. You can also ask your neighbors and friends for donations of their random crap that they don't want.

Your best friend should be advertising. People need to know that you're trying to raise money for this. So flyers, posters, and signs around town will be really helpful.

Good luck!
