Back-to-School Fundraising Ideas for Cheer, Band, and Dance Teams

The back-to-school season is one of the biggest opportunities to set your program up for success, especially when it comes to fundraising.

Whether you’re preparing for football halftime shows, gearing up for regional competitions, or just trying to offset the cost of uniforms and travel, your team needs funds to make it happen. That’s where Snap! Raise comes in.

Snap! Raise helps cheer & dance teams and marching bands raise more, faster — without the headaches of traditional fundraising.

Why Fall Fundraising Matters

Fall is the kickoff to your busiest season. And with the right fundraising strategy in place, your program can:
