5 Month Half Payment Plan and Fundraising
If you choose this option, you are required to pay $31.25 monthly and fundraise the difference in monthly cost.
By the end of November, you will be required to sell and profit a minimum of $62.50 to cover your four (2) month (October to November) cost difference between the following fundraisers:
o Spirit T-shirt: Profit ranges depending on how may shout outs you sell, if you sell all the shout-outs you have the opportunity to profit $170 towards your fundraising goal.
o Weekly Football Pools- Squares are $10.00 each, with a $5.00 profit. If you sell 5 squares, your profit is $25 towards your fundraising goal.
o Popcorn- You will receive a 50% profit off your sales, so if you sell $500 your profit is $250 towards your fundraising goal. Anything over $100 profit goes back to the athlete.
By the end of February, you will be required to sell and profit a minimum of $93.75 to cover your four (3) month (December through February) cost difference between the following fundraisers:
o Weekly Football Pools- Squares are $10.00 each, with a $5.00 profit. If you sell 5 squares, your profit is $25 towards your fundraising goal.
o Additional Fundraiser TBD at a later date.
If you choose the Half/Half payment plan option and you do not meet your goal at the end of November or February, then you will be required to pay the difference at that time.
If you do not reach your goal and do not pay the difference by the allotted timeframe, then your athlete will not be able to participate in practice or competition until the debt is paid.
You may pay ahead or a lump sum at any time.

● All monthly payments can be made electronically with a $3 per transaction fee (credit card usage fee per transaction). If you choose to make your monthly payments, via the electronic system this will be the set payment process for all of your payments.
● Monthly payments are non-refundable.
● If your card declines, there will be a $35 late fee added onto your monthly payment.
● Monthly payments MUST BE made by the third Saturday of each month. If we do not receive your payment, then your cheerleader/s will not be allowed to practice.

Mandatory Fundraiser
ALL ATHLETES, regardless of the payment plan option, MUST participate in one mandatory SMYO Cheer Elite Fundraiser. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards our goal to purchase a new set of practice mats.
The target goal for all athletes is to sell $300.
If you are in the half and half payment plan option, you will be required to sell $300 ($150 profit) first and anything over the $300 raised will go back to the athlete.
