google baby google....
actually cheer magazines are great to get ideas from.... like american cheerleading magazine...
I used to have a gym of my own and I can tell you from experience, World's Finest Chocolate is the BEST money maker ever... We have also done alot of the cookie dough and cheese cakes... We had people begging for more of that!
A few times we have actually had someone donate something of value(painting, carwashes, etc.) and did raffle tickets - parents are the hardest part of fundraising! We finally quit having them because we could not get enough participation to make a true profit EXCEPT for Worlds Finest Chocolate. The profit is great and you can order it direct from them!
Good luck! If I can be of any help to you, I will be happy to do so!

We found that it was super EASY to sell T shirts to parents and family... we had a mom who had a screen printing shop and got us shirts super cheap, we made a custom design and made about $10 per shirt...

Our gym paid for a trip to disneyworld(CHEER NATIONALS) by selling "ads" on the back of a shirt to different businesses... we sold them for $50 each and our team agreed to wear these shirt to all competitions... I know I sold myself over $900 of ads and only $40 went to the actual shirts, that was so easy and BIG money maker!

I could go on and on... haha..... I did this for 9 years and am SO glad to be done! lemme know if I can be of any help!
