"MCDA Allstars Are Florida-Bound – Let’s Make It Happen!"

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I'm part of the fundraising team at MCDA Allstars.

MCDA is a vibrant, family-oriented cheerleading club based in Chatham, Kent, with around 150 athletes aged between 4 and 61. We’re not just a team— we’re a community that believes in discipline, dedication, teamwork, and empowerment through sport.

We’re thrilled to announce that our Junior team Surge and Senior team Thunder have earned the incredible honour of competing at the Allstar Worlds competition in Florida in April 2026! We’ll be taking 29 talented girls to this prestigious event to represent not just MCDA, but the UK, on an international stage.

This is more than a competition—it’s a dream come true.

For many of these girls, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to perform among the best in the world. It's the reward for countless hours of hard work, early mornings, late-night practices, and unwavering commitment. It’s a chance to show what’s possible when young athletes are given the support they need to thrive.

While the parents are working tirelessly to fund the travel costs, we’re looking for help to raise money for:

* Training sessions in the U.S.
* ️Entry fees to the competition
* New team training kits
* Team-building activities while in Florida
* All the essential extras that come with elite level cheerleading

We’re reaching out to our wider community: family, friends, local businesses, and anyone who believes in the power of youth sport, to ask for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us get closer to that competition floor in Florida.

Your generosity won’t just help cover costs, it will:

* Fuel confidence and self-belief in these young athletes
* Support their mental and physical well-being
* Empower girls and women in sport
* Strengthen a grassroots club that gives so much back to the local community

And if we’re lucky enough to raise more than we need, those funds will go directly into improving our gym facilities—helping us purchase equipment, support more athletes, and continue creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

Please consider donating today—and help us make dreams come true.

From all of us at MCDA Allstars, thank you for your kindness, encouragement, and belief in our athletes. Let’s show the world what Team MCDA can do!
