About Lockport Cheer

How the Fundraiser Worked
Lockport Cheer followed the standard Fund-Team.com campaign model:
- The coach or booster organizer set up the campaign page in approximately 10 minutes.
- Cheer team members join via the team's campaign link and personalized their own fundraising pages.
- Students invited friends, family, and community supporters to donate by email, text, or social media.
- Donors gave securely online — no products to purchase, no cash to handle.
- Fund-Team.com sent automated donor reminders throughout the campaign.
- Payment was issued to the team when the campaign ended.
Outcome
Lockport Cheer raised a total of $16,930 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%).
