Light-Up LED Pom Poms
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$145 USD per pair
Size your youth cheer fundraiser to the order: 10 pairs of light-up poms is $1,200 at our team rate of $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, 15 pairs is $1,800 and 20 is $2,400. A parent-run sponsor drive, car wash or kids’ clinic can get you there.
Sizing a youth cheer fundraiser to the pom order
Start with the number, not the idea. Count your cheerleaders, add one or two spare pairs, and multiply by $120. A squad of 13 with two spares is 15 pairs, so the goal is $1,800. A named goal, “lit poms for 13 cheerleaders, $1,800,” is easier to explain at a neighbor’s door than “cheer fund,” and parents can see when it is done.
Our team rate starts at 10 pairs, so the smallest goal is $1,200. For what the squad does with them once they arrive, see light-up pom poms for every kind of team.

Which fundraiser ideas work for parent-run youth squads?
- Sponsor a pair. The cleanest one. A local business or grandparent pays for one pair, $120, and gets a thank-you on the squad banner and a photo with the cheerleader who carries it. Ten sponsors and you are done.
- Car wash. One Saturday morning, a busy corner and a sign that names the goal. Two shifts of parents.
- A mini clinic. Older cheerleaders teach younger kids a chant and a jump for an afternoon. See how to run a junior cheer clinic fundraiser.
- Raffle basket. Donated items, tickets sold at games. Raffle rules vary by state, so check yours before you print tickets.
- Photo booth. Once the poms arrive, they raise their own next set: families pay for a photo with the squad holding lit poms at the late game.
How do you pitch light-up poms to donors?
Show a photo of lit poms after dark and name the night donors will see them: the homecoming game, the banquet, the town parade. Tell them the poms have no sizes and stay with the squad, so one gift serves several seasons of cheerleaders, not one child. Give the per-pair number, $120, so a donor can picture exactly what they bought. If a donor asks how they work, the short answer is: diodes built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that switches the whole squad together. Our setup videos show it in a minute.
A script parents can use at the door or in a text: “Our squad is raising $1,800 for light-up poms in team colors. A pair is $120 and stays with the squad for years. Would you sponsor one? We’ll send you a photo of your pair at the homecoming game.” Short, a number, a promise you can keep.
Who should hold the money?
One account and one treasurer. If your league or booster club has an account, run it through there and give receipts for every sponsor. One person, usually the coach or the treasurer, places the order once the goal is met. Keep a sponsor list with each name and the pair it paid for, so every sponsor gets a thank-you and a photo after the first night game. Our booster club approval guide covers the approval steps, and booster club fundraising ideas covers bigger booster drives.
When should the fundraiser run?
Early. Of the 54 teams that applied to us for team pricing this fall, 25 needed their poms for a December date: the banquet, the holiday parade or a national competition. A fundraiser that starts at the first game leaves room before the big night. Work backward from your date, and put that date on your application.
A four-week plan most parent groups can run: in week one, send sponsor letters and texts with the per-pair number. In week two, hold the car wash or clinic. In week three, sell raffle tickets or run the photo booth at a home game. In week four, count what came in, close any gap with family contributions, and apply. Post the running total at every game so parents can see the goal shrink.
Squads planning the whole year can use the 2027 youth cheer season plan.
Hit the goal, then apply
You can apply before the money is in; tell us where the fundraiser stands. See the team pricing page for what team orders include, and the rec cheer guide for programs that share one set.
Apply with your squad, the number of cheerleaders, your colors, your fundraising goal and your date. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.

Can we get them in time for our banquet?
Send us the date when you apply. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits.
