Xtreme Cheer believes in fundraising as a means for parents to help meet the expenses of an All-Star cheer team and for the kids to learn and appreciate what it means to be part of this team. We would like to make it as easy and as fun as possible for everyone. We understand that there are many different types of fundraisers and that everyone has a different concept of what is the most effective method. We hope to offer a wide variety of ideas that will maximize dollars raised vs. time and effort spent. We also want you to feel comfortable with the fundraisers offered. We welcome any and all suggestions from you as you are the ones participating. Please bring all fundraising ideas to the Booster Club.
Xtreme Cheer is happy to allow our athletes to raise money using our name but please remember that this is a privilege. Going forward, 10% of individual fundraising will go back to Xtreme in a scholarship-type fund to help those who may need it. This is a common practice of most all-star cheer gyms.
- No one may individually fundraise. This is in violation of your agreement with Xtreme Cheer (Mike & Dana Talbot). Anyone caught using Xtreme’s name on an unauthorized fundraiser may be terminated from the team.
- All fundraising must be approved by Mike, Dana and the Booster Club.
- For new ideas please contact Denise Perna denise06851@aol.com
- The amount of fundraising you do is your decision. You may want to raise enough money to cover all expenses related to Xtreme, or you may choose not to fundraise at all.
- The “estimate” for a child to participate in Xtreme is between $4500 – $5500 per child. (Youth: approximately $750 – $1200) These estimates are on the high side and includes tuition from June – April, estimated competition fees and misc. uniform, spirit gear, and practice clothes. It does NOT include travel expenses to competitions. With these estimates in mind fundraising will be capped at $6000 per cheerleader, $1850 per youth cheerleader.
- Fundraising money may be used towards monthly tuition, spirit gear, banquet, competition fees, tumbling classes, private lessons and travel expenses* (airline & hotel) for competitions. Arrangements for travel will be made directly by booster club, no reimbursements will be made to parents.
- All fundraising money should be used by the end of the season, however we will allow unused funds to roll over to the following season for returning athletes. Athletes not returning will forfeit the remaining funds to the XCA scholarship fund.** please note: It is your responsibility to keep track of the Balances for the money you raise, remember 10% is deducted for the scholarship fund.
- Please use the fundraising receipt when turning in any money raised for your child’s “bank.” Please enclose all money – cash & checks – in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and team(s). If you wish to disperse any of the funds in their bank, please fill out a disbursement form and return to the gym drop box found in the office. Withdrawal forms can also be emailed to Denise, no withdrawals will be initiated without the correct form attached.
- Disbursement forms can be found online and at the gym.
- While Fundraising is completely optional, it is mandatory that any athletes family that receives scholarship funds participates in individual fundraising.
- The current fundraisers will be located on the website under FUNDRAISING. The calendar is located at www.xtremecheerct.net and will also be posted on the Moms and Dads Facebook page.
- Any All-Star that owes a balance for any All-Star fee due for more than 30 days, that has monies in their All-Star booster account, those monies will be used to pay towards the balance that is past due.
* Travel expenses include the plane fare for the cheerleader and parent(s) only (siblings not included) and hotel charges for the cheerleader and immediate family only. You may not use fundraising money for transportation (car service, limo) to and from the airport, rental car, food, or park passes for anyone other than 1 guardian.
