The Description

As the cheerleading coach at KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate, I strive to give my team the tools to excel in the classroom, in life, and in the things they love (cheer, of course!). In order to make sure that they are able to do what they are passionate about, I need to make sure first and foremost that they are safe. In teaching and coaching, your students/athletes are like your own kids - you worry about them. At our school, we do not have the funds to get the cheerleading team proper cheerleading mats (currently, we don't have a mat at all), so I am looking to buy competition mats so girls can be safe and we can grow the cheerleading team at our school and start competing. The link is below:

It costs $4,151 plus shipping, but would be the key to our team's success and safety. With no mats right now, we are not able to stunt or compete like other teams, which is one of the most exciting parts of cheerleading! Please help my girls and I raise this money so we can build up to being the team that we have always wanted to be. Safety first!

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase new uniforms for my team and smaller individual stunting mats so we have at least protection around stunting.

About the Creator

My name is Maddison Holmes, and I am a Special Education teacher for the 10th grade at KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate High School. These students are especially dear to me, given that I was born and raised in Lynn and know many of their families and older siblings. We do have resources at our school, but not all of them can be individualized or differentiated to meet my students' individual needs on their IEPs. Overall, I am looking to branch out and find some resources that can meet an array of student profiles.
