Help Bring Cheer to Calgary's Homeschool Families

Faith-led. Family-rooted. Built with love and purpose.

When the gym I coached at suddenly closed, it wasn’t just the end of a season. It was the end of a safe space: a place where kids came to grow in strength, friendship, and commitment. For so many of them, it was where they felt seen.

I watched heartbreak ripple through our athletes as I coached through our last month of practices. Especially the homeschool families who don’t have the same variety of options for connection, growth, and community.

It was in those final moments, our last practice. Training in an empty, dismantled gym that once felt full of life and hope, that God laid something deeper on my heart.

Build what they’ve lost, and build it specifically for them.

Not just a program, but a place to belong. An athletic home, for the homeschooled. A space where these athletes are known. Where their families are supported. Where everything we do reflects the call to rise, serve, and lead with love.

Integrity Homeschool Cheer Academy was born from that calling.

We exist to serve a community often overlooked in sport, and offer a safe space for these kids to continue what they started. These kids deserve access to meaningful athletics, real friendships, and the joy of working toward something bigger than themselves. Their parents deserve a program that respects their values, their time, and their hearts.

With my husband by my side, we are actively pouring into this calling: late nights, finances, and unwavering belief in the vision.

The website is live.

The teams are forming.

The curriculum is written.

We are tirelessly networking too create a season of dreams for the homeschool community.

While we are starting with a goal of $3000 to build early momentum, our full goal is to raise $8,000 to cover essential startup costs:

• Gym rentals and equipment

• Uniforms and team shirts

• Insurance and program materials

• Outreach to underserved homeschool families

Every dollar helps us get closer to the full vision!

To create a program that doesn't compromise excellence and conviction. To run with integrity, without ever asking families to pay more than they can afford.

If you believe in faith-led spaces…

In kids who rise when they’re loved well…

In programs that build not just skill, but character…

Then you’re already part of this vision.

Your support. Your prayers. Even a single share plants seeds that will last. This is more than cheer. It’s community. 

It’s a place where kids are led with joy, strength, and Kingdom purpose.

Whether you’re a homeschool parent, a church leader, a former athlete, or someone who simply believes in fostering good soil, we invite you to partner with us.

From one homeschool heart to another, thank you. Thank you for believing this matters. Because it does. Whether you support us in prayer, with a share, or through a gift, you’re more than just a donor.

You’re helping a vision take root.

With all our love and gratitude,
