How We Spend GYC Money

Expenses will fluctuate based on the number of cheerleaders. We have to estimate prior to a season how many athletes will be in the program - we rely on families assisting with Fundraising and Sponsors throughout the season to help keep costs low as we continue through seasons. Here is a list of expenses that we incur on a regular basis. Please remember all coaches and board members are volunteers and are not paid. Time, effort and personal expenses related to GYC Coaches and Board Members are all unpaid. Their time and effort are dedicated to your children every practice and every competition. We also maintain a minimum balance in our account to keep GYC healthy and sustainable for the future. With that said here is a list of our most common expenses, additional expenses may incur throughout the season. If you have questions please reach out to one our Program Director.
