Help Me Get to the Cheerleading World Championships!

Hello, friends, family and supporters!

I’m reaching out to you with an exciting goal: My cheer team has earned a spot in the Cheerleading World Championships at Disney World in Orlando, Florida and I need your help to make this dream a reality!

For the past 10 years, cheerleading has been my passion and I’ve poured my heart into every moment—training, practicing and competing. Here’s a little about how my journey started:

I began cheerleading at the age of 11, after watching a friend's football game. To be honest, I knew nothing about football, but I was mesmerized not by the players on the field, but by the cheerleaders on the sidelines. I immediately begged my mom to let me join. Little did we know, this would turn into the best decision of my life.

That first competition at the end of the year was all it took for me to fall in love with the sport. It was everything I had ever dreamed of. I knew I wanted to go into All-Star Cheer, but the costs made it impossible.

When I turned 17, I finally made my dream come true. I worked hard to fund my way into All-Star Cheer, and not only was I welcomed with open arms, but I was also given the incredible opportunity to coach. My love for cheer has only grown stronger over the years as I’ve gotten to live my dream and help so many of my athletes find their own love for this sport.

Cheerleading is more than just a sport to me—it's been a journey of growth, discipline, and perseverance. Through some of the hardest times in my life, cheerleading has always been there. It’s been my constant, my motivation, and the thing that’s kept me going.

This year, I have reached my goal of competing on an International Level 6 team, and we earned a bid to the World Cheerleading Championships!

While this dream coming true brings so much excitement, it brings additional pressure, time commitment and financial expenses. I cover all of my own living expenses and with my full-time job, cheer practices, and fundraising efforts taking up most of my time, managing these additional expenses on my own has become a challenge. That’s why I’m turning to my community for help in making this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity possible.

The funds will go toward covering the following expenses:

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will bring me one step closer to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can donate, it would mean the world to me. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this with your friends and family would be just as appreciated!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, whether it’s through a donation, a kind word, or a share. I’m beyond grateful for your belief in me and for helping me chase my cheerleading dreams!

With gratitude,

Asia Cornelius
