How Lockpoint Cheer Raised $17,476 with Fund-Team.com

About Lockpoint Cheer

Lockpoint Cheer is a school cheer squad that used Fund-Team.com for its 2025 annual online fundraiser. The campaign raised $17,476 using a donation-based model with no products to sell.

How the Fundraiser Worked

Lockpoint Cheer followed the standard Fund-Team.com campaign model:

1. The coach or booster organizer set up the campaign page in approximately 10 minutes.
2. Cheer team members join via the team's campaign link and personalized their own fundraising pages.
3. Students invited friends, family, and community supporters to donate by email, text, or social media.
4. Donors gave securely online — no products to purchase, no cash to handle.
5. Fund-Team.com sent automated donor reminders throughout the campaign.
6. Payment was issued to the team when the campaign ended.

Outcome

Lockpoint Cheer raised a total of $17,476 through its Fund-Team.com campaign. After the 5% commission, the net amount to the squad was $16,026. This amount went directly toward the program's costs — uniforms, competition fees, travel, or other expenses — without the overhead of product fundraising.

Why This Works for Cheer Squads

Cheer squads often have high per-student expenses for uniforms, choreography, competition entry fees, and travel. A donation-based fundraiser gives the community a direct way to support those costs without requiring families to buy and resell products. With Fund-Team.com's 5% commission, the squad keeps approximately $.95 of every $1 donated (before credit card processing fees, which are approximately 3%).
