Pennridge boosters report nearly $20,000 in fundraising to support cheerleading nationals trip
Summary
High‑school cheer program leaders asked the student‑services committee to approve an overnight nationals trip; boosters reported generating about $20,000 in profit that will reduce per‑student costs, provide meal vouchers and pay transportation fees.
The student‑services committee reviewed a request for the high‑school cheerleading squad to attend a national competition in Florida.
The coach and program boosters explained the fundraising plan and recent boost in revenue: a district-hosted competition generated nearly $20,000 in profit, allowing the booster club to refund prior camp fees, cover transportation between the airport and hotel, and provide food vouchers so students will not pay for meals on the trip. The coach said the squad earned competition bids and will compete both Friday and Saturday under an intermediate non‑tumbling classification; organizers said this year’s structure increases guaranteed competition time compared with last year.
Board members praised the fundraising and the program’s improved environment. Committee members discussed media and streaming options for competitions and community outreach efforts (elementary school reading visits and other community engagement). The committee expressed support for the trip and extended appreciation to boosters and program staff.
