Showcase / Exhibition Night
A ticketed performance of your routines with a keepsake program, tribute ads, and a raffle. Cheer and dance teams' own home event - finally a night that's all yours.
Why it works
Cheer and dance perform at everyone else's games; a showcase makes your squad the main event. Families buy tickets and tribute ads, sponsors get recognition in the program, and a raffle adds easy revenue - all around a night you already want to host.
How to run it

Create a Ticketed Event for the showcase and set admission (plus a family 4-pack).

- 8
Publish the event page, print the QR poster from the Share tab for the entrance table, and drop the link in every place your families already talk: group chats, newsletters, socials.
- 9
Load your contact list and let the built-in email + text sequence do the reminding (Write with AI drafts the messages), most gifts arrive on the second or third touch.
