At the Minnesota Jets, we believe cheerleading should be accessible to every child, no matter their background or financial situation. Since our founding in 2022, we’ve empowered over 200 cheerleaders across Central Minnesota through classes, clinics, competition teams, open gyms, and more. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to use cheerleading as a platform to build confidence, leadership, and life skills in youth ages 3–18.
But we can’t do it without you.
Your sponsorship directly fuels our ability to provide over $25,000 in annual hardship scholarships, maintain The Hangar—our dedicated cheer facility—and expand programs that help youth thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Every dollar ensures another child can join a team, grow in confidence, and build lasting friendships.
Whether you’re a small business, a local leader, or someone passionate about supporting youth, you have the power to make a real difference.

Why Your Support Matters

Facility Costs: Support operations and programming at The Hangar—our cheerleading gym in Big Lake.
Program Expansion: Fund youth outreach, clinics, school partnerships, and college prep.
We’ve already served over 75 competitive cheerleaders and hundreds more through our other programs. With your help, we can serve even more.
Our athletes aren’t just learning to cheer—they’re becoming leaders, role models, and team players. Through our SAWSI values—Spirit, Accountability, Work Ethic, Safety, and Integrity—we’re building a legacy of youth excellence and empowerment in Central Minnesota.
Beyond the Mat: Lifelong Impact
Thanks to our incredible network of community resource partners, we provide families with referrals to support services for mental health, academic resources, and more. We also help athletes pursue their dreams post-high school by connecting them with college recruiters and cheer programs across the country.
When you sponsor the Minnesota Jets, you're supporting more than a sport—you're supporting a life-changing experience.
