A lot of creative cheerleading fundraising ideas exist to help out your squad this year. If your cheerleading squad comes up a little short on funds. These ideas include sure fire money makers like yard sales, bake sales and car washes.

Your cheerleading squad may require funds for any number of reasons - travel to sporting events, promotional items for the crowd at that big pep rally and new uniforms for the squad. Being low on cash can really put a lid on the team spirit you can give to the home crowd and of course, it also limits the fun of events.

A great fundraiser for your cheerleading squad is to have a bake sale. Each cheerleader can bake something different to bring to the sale; cookies, pie, cake or their own specialty. You can then sell these baked goods to raise money for your squad. Bake sales tend to do very well - after all, it's hard to resist fresh baked treats. If you have your bake sale at a sporting event, it is sure to be a hit.

A yard or garage sale can also be a terrific fundraiser for your cheerleading squad. You'll need some help from adults for this to work well, but parents are usually more than willing to lend a hand; they generally have a lot of items t donate for a yard sale fundraiser.

People commonly have many items which they would be happy to clear out of their garages and basements - by having a yard sale you can help them get rid of these items while holding a great fundraiser for your cheerleading squad simultaneously.

You might find your squad with a very large number of items donated for your fundraiser; if this is the case, then you may want to consider asking your school to let you use their auditorium or parking lot to hold the sale. You will need a fairly large area to hold your event in most cases; you can also ask around the squad to see if anyone has a large yard or driveway for your sale. You'll have some items left over which were not sold afterwards. You should donate these items to Goodwill or another charity. You can sometimes arrange for these items to be picked up; otherwise, you should find someone with a large vehicle who will volunteer to drive these items to the nearest donation point.

A car wash is another way you can make money for your cheerleading squad. You can go to your local gas station and ask permission to hook up a hose and to use the parking lot area for a car wash. Most gas stations will approve for a good cause. Then all you need is soap, a hose, signs, and people to wash cars.

No matter what your cheerleading squad's needs for funding are, there are plenty of creative cheerleading fundraising ideas which are perfect for your squad - if yours is a little short on funds, don't be afraid to use a creative type of fundraiser.
