Funded Apr 29, 2019We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution to the Viking Cheer 2 project. Your donation allowed us to purchase 3 regular size stunting mats that will provide us safety and protection during stunting practice as well as performances. These lightweight mats allow for easily transport to contests and allows us to be able to safely stunt at away game. The low profile mats have helped the bases with their footing which has resulted in better stability for the entire stunt, keeping our flyer solid and safe. When performing our baskets, the bases have indicated that their feet no longer slip, which not only gives them more momentum in throwing the baskets but also provides greater stability for them to catch the flyer safely. Having these new mats has allowed us to take our stunting to the next level and work on and try new and advance stunts that we were unable to do prior to having them. It has brought back the excitement of stunting and learning and achieving new things
The squad was super excited when we received the mats and couldn't wait to start stunting so they could use them. The squad just recently held a cheer camp where 103 youth from the community attended and learned cheers and a dance routine that they performed in front of our home crowd. One evening following camp the squad was able to use the new mats with a Pop Warner Cheer team that attended and worked with them on stunting techniques and helped increase their skill level. The squad loves giving back to the community that supports them.
Many of our squad members come from low income homes and rely on fundraising opportunities in order to be able to afford to participate. Your contribution has made a positive impact in their lives and is greatly appreciated. Our program works hard year around to raise school spirit and support our sports teams. We continue to enhance the program and would like to see it grow, these new stunting mats help us achieve our vision. It's a great time to be part of Viking Nation and we thank you for support! Go Viks!”

Funded Apr 22, 2019We would like to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks for your donation to our Viking Cheer project. Our program was in need of new and updated Stunting Mats as the current ones were over 20 years old. Your donation allowed us to purchase 2 large stunting mats that will provide us safety and protection during stunting practice as well as performances. These light weight high impact mat have made it easy for the squad to transport them to different rooms in the school as we do not have a designated area assigned for cheer so often we are practicing in the student lounge or school cafeteria.
There was pure excitement on the faces of the squad members as they opened the boxes containing the mats and got to use them for the first time. They would ask at the beginning of each practice if we were going to stunt during practice so they could use the new mats. Having the new mats brought an excitement and energy to practice that was fun to see. The squad has shared their excitement with their classmates and staff members praising the donors for their contributions and expressing their appreciation for the new mats.
A large number of our squad members come from low income homes and would not be able to participate in cheer if it wasn't for fundraising opportunities and generous donations from donors like yourself. These girls appreciate the opportunities given to them by your donation to increase their stunting skills while keeping them and their teammates safe. Our program is 100% funded through fundraising opportunities so your contribution is greatly appreciated. We have worked to build our program over the years and additions such as new stunting mats help us achieve our vision. It's a great time to be part of the Mazama Viking Cheer program and we are excited to see what great things we will achieve in the future.”
