The Minnesota Jets is more than a cheerleading organization—it’s a movement dedicated to empowering youth, transforming lives, and growing the sport of cheerleading across Central Minnesota and beyond. Since 2022, we’ve served over 200 athletes through clinics, camps, choreography, and competition teams, providing opportunities for young people to build confidence, resilience, and leadership. With every practice, performance, and connection, we create a foundation for success both on and off the mat.
What is Give to the Max Day, and Why is it So Important
Give to the Max Day is Minnesota’s annual giving holiday, a powerful tradition of generosity that has raised over $300 million for nonprofits and schools since 2009. This year, it culminates on Thursday, November 21, 2024, but early giving is already underway, allowing you to make an impact now.
When you support the Minnesota Jets, you’re not just funding a cheerleading program—you’re investing in youth development, community growth, and the expansion of cheerleading across Central Minnesota and beyond.
Cheerleading is More Than a Sport
At the Minnesota Jets, we believe cheerleading is more than uniforms and bows—it’s about being part of something greater. It’s about fostering an environment where young athletes feel seen, supported, and capable of achieving their dreams.
We inspire our athletes to reach their full potential through our core values of Spirit, Accountability, Work Ethic, Safety, and Integrity (SAWSI). These values teach them to overcome challenges, embrace teamwork, and take pride in their achievements—preparing them not just for cheerleading, but for life.
We don’t just cheer for ourselves; we cheer for our athletes, our community, and the sport of cheerleading.
Supporting Our Athletes: Breaking Barriers and Building Confidence
For our Minnesota Jets cheerleaders, we aim to remove barriers and create pathways to success:
Hardship Scholarships: Each year, we award over $25,000 in scholarships to ensure no child is excluded from cheerleading due to financial hardship. These scholarships open doors for young athletes to join a supportive team, gain valuable skills, and build lasting memories.
Building Leaders: Our programming focuses on developing confidence, perseverance, and leadership. Our athletes don’t just learn routines—they learn how to face life’s challenges with strength and determination.
Providing Stability: For many families, the Jets are more than a team—they’re a source of stability, belonging, and hope. We connect families to resources for mental health support, academic success, and wellness, ensuring our athletes and their families can thrive.
Creating Opportunities to Fly High
Our impact extends far beyond our own teams. The Minnesota Jets actively support and advocate for the growth of cheerleading across the region.
Collaborating with Other Programs: We share resources, consult with emerging teams, and help new programs come together, ensuring that cheerleading opportunities are available to more athletes.
Offering Clinics, Camps, and Choreography: From tumbling classes to specialized clinics, we provide opportunities for cheerleaders from all programs to grow and excel.
Advocating for Cheerleading: As champions for the sport, we build relationships with other programs, sponsors, and partners to elevate cheerleading throughout Central Minnesota.
With our network of partners and supporters, we create opportunities for cheerleaders—especially our Jets cheerleaders—to Fly High.
