Why Drinkware Makes the Perfect Fundraiser for Dance Teams and Competitive Cheer Clubs
Anyone involved in competitive dance or cheer knows how quickly the expenses can pile up. There are uniforms, competition fees, choreography, travel, hotel rooms and plenty of other costs throughout the season.
Fundraising can make a big difference, but it can also create even more work for coaches and parents who are already juggling packed schedules. Nobody wants to spend weeks collecting paper order forms, chasing down payments or trying to figure out what to do with leftover products.
That is why custom drinkware has become such a great fundraising option for dance teams and competitive cheer clubs. It is practical, easy to personalize and something people will actually use. With Fundraising on Easy Mode by We Are The Ripple, your team can get started with no upfront cost and far less hassle.
A Fundraiser People Are Happy to Support
Let’s be honest: some fundraising products are easier to get excited about than others.
A custom tumbler or water bottle featuring your team’s logo is something athletes, parents, grandparents and fans can use every day. It can go to practices, competitions, school, work, the gym or a long weekend on the road.
Drinkware also lasts well beyond the fundraising campaign. Every time someone carries their bottle or tumbler, they are showing off their team pride and helping more people recognize your studio, school or cheer club.
Made for Busy Dance and Cheer Families
Dance and cheer families spend a lot of time on the move. Between practices, rehearsals, competitions and travel, a dependable water bottle or tumbler is always useful.
Custom team drinkware is a natural fit for:
- Competitive dance teams
- Dance studios
- All-star cheer clubs
- School cheerleading squads
- Pom and dance teams
- Youth recreation cheer programs
- College cheer and dance teams
- Booster clubs and parent organizations
It is also highly giftable. Parents and grandparents can purchase drinkware for athletes, while supporters can buy it as a birthday, holiday or end-of-season gift.
Show Off Your Team’s Personality
Your team’s logo and colors are a big part of its identity. Athletes work hard for the opportunity to represent their studio, club or school, and they are usually proud to carry something that feels like official team gear.
We Are The Ripple works with your organization to create custom drinkware featuring your team logo or fundraiser design. The result is more than a generic fundraising item. It is a product that feels connected to your athletes and your community.
That personal connection can make the fundraiser easier to share—and easier for supporters to say yes to.
Fundraising on Easy Mode
A fundraiser should help your organization, not create another job for your coaches and volunteers.
That is the idea behind Fundraising on Easy Mode by We Are The Ripple. There is no upfront cost, no need to purchase inventory ahead of time and no guessing how many bottles or tumblers your team might sell.
Getting started is simple:
- Tell us about your team. Let us know who you are, what you are raising money for and what you hope to accomplish.
- Choose your drinkware. Select the products you want to offer and send us your team logo.
- We handle the setup. We Are The Ripple creates the custom products and builds the online page your supporters will use to order.
- Your team spreads the word. Share the fundraiser through email, text, social media and your team’s communication channels.
- Your organization gets paid. At the end of the program, we tally the sales and send your team the money it earned.
There are no paper order forms to manage, no individual payments to collect and no piles of unsold inventory taking up space in someone’s garage.
An Online Fundraiser With a Wider Reach
Your team’s biggest supporters do not always live nearby. Grandparents, former athletes, family friends and alumni may live in other cities or states but still want to help.
Because your We Are The Ripple fundraiser is available online, families can share the ordering link with supporters almost anywhere. Athletes can post it on social media, parents can send it to coworkers and studios can include it in newsletters or team emails.
A simple online link can help your fundraiser reach well beyond your gym, studio or school.
Raise Money for Your Team—and Do Some Good Along the Way
Every We Are The Ripple fundraiser has a larger purpose behind it.
While your custom drinkware sales help support your dance or cheer program, 10% of We Are The Ripple sales also supports global clean-water access initiatives.
Your supporters are not just purchasing another team item. They are helping your organization cover important expenses while also contributing to clean-water projects that can make a meaningful difference for communities in need.
That is what creating a ripple is all about.
