Hey guys! I tried looking for a similar topic, but could not find one. Sorry if it is a double post by accident.
So in some states/schools, college cheer teams are considered a sport, therefore they get some of the sport funds from the university. However, my college does not do that, so we end up paying for everything ourselves, out of pocket.
It can definitely get pricey, and this year especially, we are struggling to still register for competitions without breaking the bank.
In college, fundraising is trickier than high school. Its very difficult to go door-to-door asking for people to buy food/teeshirts/blankets because most houses are college kids who are broke as well.(And don't care that the cheer team needs money.) And while selling candy bars sometimes works, going to the student union to sell can get tricky because not many students bring cash with them (because of how our dining plan works.)
We have done a couple of camps/clinics here and there, but I am not sure how to get MORE clinics...
What fundraisers does your team do to help out? Is there anything in particular that you have discovered worked well, or vice versa? Thank you!
