  1. hello there, i have a neighbour looking to support her daughter on the try out for the next season 2018-19. Whilst she has supported her daughter in pom dancing and cheer for the last 7 years she feels that if her daughter was successful at the try outs, she would struggle with the finances to attend the world champs. Can you please let me know of any fund raising strategies she may adopt to help with these finances.
