Cheer and Dance Team Fundraisers Made Easy
Cheerleading and dance come with plenty of expenses. Uniforms, costumes, competition fees, travel, choreography, equipment and studio costs can add up quickly. Fundraising helps, but organizing a fundraiser can also place a lot of extra work on coaches, studio owners and parents.
We Are The Ripple makes cheer and dance team fundraising easier with custom stainless steel tumblers and water bottles featuring your team, studio or school logo.
Your supporters receive drinkware they can use every day. Your organization earns money from qualifying purchases. We handle the products, online store, payment processing and order fulfillment.
You Sell. We Process.
Custom Drinkware Designed for Your Team
Team-branded tumblers and water bottles give dancers, cheerleaders, coaches, parents and fans a practical way to show their support.
Choose from our selection of premium insulated stainless steel drinkware in different sizes and colors. We will customize your products using your approved team logo, studio artwork, school mascot or program identity.
Custom drinkware fundraisers are a great fit for:
- Competitive cheerleading teams
- School cheer programs
- All-star cheer gyms
- Dance studios
- School dance teams
- Pom squads
- Gymnastics programs
- Competition teams
- Performance groups
- Booster clubs
- Youth recreation programs
Whether you are sending a team to nationals, purchasing new uniforms or raising money for your next season, we can help you create a collection your supporters will be proud to purchase.
A Fundraiser Families Can Get Excited About
Families are asked to support plenty of fundraisers throughout the year. The product matters.
Custom tumblers and water bottles are useful at rehearsals, practices, competitions, school, work and on the road. Athletes can use their bottles during long practice sessions. Parents can carry insulated tumblers on early competition mornings. Coaches and studio staff can bring them to events, and relatives can show their support wherever they live.
Instead of purchasing something that may be used once, supporters receive a product that can become part of their daily routine.
Every time they carry it, they also help keep your team or studio visible.
Fundraising on Easy Mode
Your team already has routines to learn, practices to attend and events to prepare for. Managing a fundraiser should not feel like another full-time job.
Here is how the We Are The Ripple fundraising program works:
1. Tell Us About Your Organization
Contact us and share a little information about your cheer team, dance studio or school program. Tell us what you are raising money for and when you would like to run the fundraiser.
2. Select Your Drinkware
Choose the tumblers and water bottles you would like to offer. Send us your approved logo or artwork, and we will create the custom products for your collection.
3. We Build Your Online Fundraising Store
We Are The Ripple creates a customized fundraising page hosted on our website. Your supporters can browse the collection and place their orders online.
4. Share Your Fundraising Link
Promote the fundraiser to athletes, families, friends, alumni and community supporters. Share your link through email, social media, team apps, studio newsletters and announcements at performances or competitions.
5. Your Organization Gets Paid
When the fundraiser ends, we total the qualifying sales and send your organization the money it earned. We handle the online orders, payments and fulfillment, helping take the administrative work off your team.
No complicated paper order forms. No collecting checks. No large pile of products for your volunteers to organize.
No Upfront Inventory Purchase
Traditional fundraisers can require an organization to purchase merchandise before knowing how much it will sell. That creates financial risk and can leave the team with boxes of unused products.
With a We Are The Ripple fundraiser, your organization does not need to make a large upfront inventory purchase. Supporters order from your customized online store, and our team processes those orders.
That means coaches and parents can spend less time managing merchandise and more time supporting the athletes.
What Can a Cheer or Dance Fundraiser Support?
Your organization can use its fundraising proceeds to help cover many common team expenses, including:
- Competition registration
- Uniforms and costumes
- Team warmups
- Choreography
- Music and licensing
- Travel and transportation
- Hotel accommodations
- Training equipment
- Studio improvements
- Scholarships and athlete assistance
- End-of-season celebrations
- Trips to regional or national competitions
A custom drinkware fundraiser can support one specific need or contribute to your organization’s overall season expenses.
Expand Your Fundraiser Beyond the Team
An online team store makes it easier to reach supporters who do not live nearby.
Grandparents, extended family members, alumni and friends can visit your fundraising page and make a purchase without needing to attend a practice or event. Parents can share the link through text messages and social media, giving the fundraiser a much wider reach than a traditional paper order form.
The customized drinkware also makes it easy for supporters to feel connected to the team. They are not simply making a contribution—they are receiving something that represents the athlete or organization they are supporting.
Your Fundraiser Creates an Additional Impact
A We Are The Ripple fundraiser helps your team reach its goal while contributing to something bigger.
We donate 10% of our sales to support global clean-water access initiatives. Each qualifying purchase helps your cheer or dance organization while also supporting clean-water projects for communities in need.
Your team raises money. Your supporters receive custom drinkware. Together, we create a ripple effect beyond the gym, studio or competition floor.
