Cheerleaders Create Unique Fundraiser for Trip in Texas

The Christ Academy sixth- and seventh-grade cheerleaders of Wichita Falls, TX have created a unique fundraiser to raise money to go on their trip to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, FL. Two red and yellow painted toilet bowls, decorated with pom poms and fake dollar bills have been appearing on the front lawns of Wichita Falls homes. To have the spirited item removed, the recipient’s home makes a donation to the cheerleading team.

The toilet bowl has the initials “C.A.” for Christ Academy on the tank and “Cheer” painted across the lid. Pom poms hang from the open lid of the toilet tank. Fake dollar bills stick out from the sides of the lid from around all of the edges. The bottom of the toilet is painted yellow. Red and yellow are the school’s team colors.

The team needs to raise $15,000 to pay for travel costs for the trip for nine cheerleaders and a coach to go to Florida. The cheerleading team typically cheers for the junior high school football team.

The cheerleaders were invited to cheer at the Capital One Bowl when they participated in a Wichita Falls junior high cheerleading camp held over the summer by Universal Cheerleaders. The sixth- and seventh-graders won a “Superior” trophy which is the camp’s highest honor, while they were competing against the other junior high school’s eighth grade cheerleading team.
