How Radiance Cheer Academy Raised $2,584 With FundChamps

"Parents and friends loved it. We raised more than expected, and felt proud of the process. FundChamps was a great help."
— Danielle Moore, Cheerleading Coach, Radiance Cheer Academy – Junior Squad

The Challenge

Like many youth cheerleading programs, Radiance Cheer Academy’s Junior Squad faced steep costs such as uniforms, travel, competition fees, and training.

"Fundraising always felt overwhelming," explained Danielle Moore, the squad’s coach. "Parents already juggle so much, and asking for donations again and again can feel exhausting."

The team needed a way to:

• Raise funds without putting pressure on families
• Offer something parents and friends could genuinely enjoy buying
• Simplify the entire fundraising process so coaches and athletes could stay focused on cheer

The FundChamps Solution

FundChamps provided a ready-to-launch online sock shop that each squad member could share with their community.

With fun, trendy socks and 50% profit on every sale, Radiance Cheer quickly saw parents, family members, and friends rally around the fundraiser.

"The kids were excited to share their links, and supporters loved the idea of getting something back. It made the whole process feel positive instead of awkward." Danielle said.

The Results

The Junior Squad raised $2,584, exceeding their initial goal.

Even better, the experience built pride within the community.

"Parents and friends felt good about supporting us. They weren’t just giving money; they were getting something they loved in return. That really changed the vibe of the whole fundraiser."

Why It Worked

1. Win-Win Fundraising – Supporters got quality socks, while the team kept 50% of sales.
2. Family-Friendly – Easy for parents to share links, no need to handle cash or products.
3. Exceeds Expectations – The squad raised more than planned, building excitement for future events.
