We are hosting a Beef and Beer to with raffles and chinese auction to raise money for our organization.  Due to Covid multiple cheer organizations have shut down.  We used those places for our teams to practice as well we practiced at schools and municipal buildings which were free of charge but no longer allow organizations to use their facilities due to covid.  As a result our operating expenses have increased signifiganlty as we had to find our own facilities.  THe cost of competitions have increased.  All of this will cause a signifigant increase in tuition if we cannot fundraise to help offset costs.  There are not other options for recreational programs in the area as others shut down due to covid and we were able to gain those athletes in our program.  We want to continue to give the exceptional training while keeping costs down so everyone can benefit and cheer if they desire.  We also want to be able to give our kids the opportunity to travel to Nationals in FL at lower costs if they recieve the bid, an opportunity our team lost out on in 2020 due to Covid.  Last year we could only compete virtually and could not travel which limited the competitions we could attend.  We really wnat to give the kids back the sport they love this year nad raising funds will help greatly.
