Empowering those with Special Needs through Cheer

Since entering the world of "special needs" I have learned that there is not much for these kiddos to take part in due to their conditions. While there are some programs offered for these children there, in my opinion, is still a gap in Tyler for activities for these amazing fighters. Therefore I have decided to take on an enormous challenge with the help of Gym Tyler Gymnastics. We are going to put together a special needs cheer team. There are many All-Star organizations who have already done this and have shown a huge success with community involvement. The main thing here is going to be generating enough donations to help these kiddos. While we can donate our time and services there are other costs associated with being on a cheer team that we would like to have donated so that these parents do not have to endure any more costs. A lot of these parents are already working two jobs to afford the medical bills and other things they have inquired. My main reason for writing this blog is to be able to generate some contacts in which we could use to help pay for the cost of their uniforms, shoes, competition fees, etc. We will be providing quality training along with their training facility. We will be keeping the cost of uniforms as low as possible but would like to be able to provide them with some kind of uniform so that they can have this memento to cherish.

Any information on how to generate some sponsorships for this dear project would be greatly appreciated. Also if you would like to help in any other way please let me know as well! Thanks for all your time and support!

Love,

Tara McHam

  1. Dear McHam Family, I was looking up "Love Bear" on Google-Images, and your daughter Karter's photo appeared amongst all those lovely bears!
    So I read a bit in your blogg and found that you're looking for a way to rise money. Have you heard of 'Flattr' yet? http://flattr.com/ It's a new way for micropayments, but if there are a lot of people, this might still make a difference.
    Maybe you'll find this intressting to explore.
    Anyway, I wish you to find means to generate financiel sopport for many families in need, strenghts in moments of need and unendig love for each others and for your kids.
    With kind regards, Simone

  2. Tara - I think that this is a wonderful amazing idea! I too agree that there is just a lack of options for these amazing children who can benefit from programs and activities like any other child if not more! You may try contacting the ARC and seeing if they have any suggestions for people who might sponsor this and they would also be a good way of advertising for families around Tyler that would benefit. Please keep me posted on how things are going with this and if there is anything I can help with. Kacy
