How Do You Pay For Worlds?

[Cali Mom]

I know that people get paid bids but that doesn't pay for everything. How do people get the extra money to go to Worlds?

I know in the past, several CEA teams had bake sales

There's tons of fundraising ideas. I have plenty if you'd like some help.

we do lots of fundraising throughout the year.. from bake sales, gym dinners, poinsettia sales, cookie dough and cheesecake sales to karaoke night.

I was absolutely planning on using mine this year (assuming we get a bid) and then I realized I switched jobs and changed my deductions and now I OWE money

Bringing this back....


PM me? We just recently got an at-large bid to the Summit and we thought the parents would say no way after getting a break down of the costs... they wanna go for it but it will be approximately $1700 per athlete (including one parent) to get over there. Luckily we only have 8 kids on our team so it isn't a huge team needing to each raise that amount but that still adds up to almost $14,000. We're talking about doing a "nationals send-off" and charging admission as well as a spaghetti feed with admission, silent auction, and a raffle but those are probably only going to net a few hundred dollars each I'm guessing. Our gym has 57 athletes so we don't have a BIG gym full of athletes to help sponser us.

I would definitlely do a Summit send off! Invite Natural Venom's 2 teams that are also going to the summit and split the profit? It would really help both your programs and I would definitely try to go!

I work. Honestly, I find I can make more at my job that I can fundraising, though I do a little of that too. Try picking up a few extra shifts if you do work/if you can and put that money solely into a World's account. Or a percentage of each pay check. If you can have your bank do it automatically (like a certain amount each month) you don't even notice it's gone. I do that for a savings account and it can add up pretty quick

I was thinking about doing something like. I know the Worlds teams did that last year and I was thinking maybe all the teams in WA (or at least the east side of the state) going to Worlds and Summit could get together like a weekend or two before Worlds to do a send-off exhibition with admission.
