Cheer Booster Club Award Budget
Booster clubs use this tool to see what a banquet order might total before they collect money from families. It multiplies quantity by a unit cost you supply, then adds setup, packing and shipping, and tax or duty. Sideline Trophy Co puts no prices into it. Use the written quote, not this number, when you approve.
Build your plan
Use one currency throughout. All costs come from your inputs. The result is a planning total, not our selling price or a tax calculation.
The decision behind a cheer team awards event
Keep squad trophies, individual athlete awards and coach recognition distinct. A squad changing divisions does not automatically change its recipient roster. Confirm approved program names and whether the year means the competition date or the full season.
Keep with your brief: Squad, athlete roster, season and coach recognition.

Calculated example result
Planning total: 1,595.00 in your entered currency. Calculated from your costs; request a written quote to confirm pricing.
Load these inputs in the tool aboveUnderstand what the result means
(Quantity × entered unit cost) + setup + packing and shipping + entered tax or duty
The example totals 1,595.00 in the entered currency. Changing the unit cost affects every piece; changing a one-time setup charge affects the order once. Use that distinction when deciding whether a simpler design or a different quantity actually reduces your total.
How does a booster treasurer plan family contributions?
A booster club treasurer needs to tell families how much to set aside for the banquet. She plans forty-five pieces across three squads, mostly Pom Motif Acrylic Award keepsakes. Her unit cost comes from a past quote, so she labels it a guess. She enters the quantity, the setup charge for the gym logo, a shipping estimate and the tax amount her club pays. The result gives her a rough total for the club meeting. When Sideline Trophy Co sends a new quote, she reruns the numbers with quoted figures before asking families for anything.
Check these details before using the result
- Asking families for money too early
- Share a range at first. Ask for set amounts only after a written quote replaces your guessed unit cost.
- Mixing products in one line
- Athlete awards, coach plaques and a poster package have different unit costs. Run each as its own line.
- Leaving out the coach gift
- Coach plaques are easy to forget because they are kept quiet. Add them as a separate run so the total is complete.

Design concept · Layered acrylic and metallic sculptural elements
Cheer Championship Trophy
Choose a shared squad trophy for the gym or matching individual pieces for athletes. Keep level and division wording consistent with the event results, and put the season on every piece so the achievement stays identifiable.

Design concept · Metal and resin with acrylic accents
Cheer Competition Trophy
Use the event's exact division wording and confirm whether the result is a category win or an overall title. If multiple squads share a gym name, give the individual squad its own prominent line.

Design concept · Clear or colored acrylic
Pom Motif Acrylic Award
Select a short award title that fits the shaped face. Use the team's colors in the artwork where appropriate, while keeping enough contrast for the name to remain readable against the decorative elements.

Design concept · Wood with engraved plate
Cheer Coach Appreciation Plaque
Ask the team for one shared thought rather than squeezing every separate message onto the plaque. A concise dedication can feel personal, with individual notes presented in a companion card or book.

Cheer Team Photo Plaque
Pick a photograph that includes the full squad and leaves room for a clean caption. If the roster needs to appear, provide the names in the same order as the photograph and check them before approving the layout.

Will this tool tell us what Sideline Trophy Co charges?
No. Every number in it comes from you. The tool only multiplies and adds, so it is only as current as what you enter. Ask for a written quote, then put those figures in before you set family contributions.
Can we split the total per family?
The tool does not split costs. Take the total it gives and divide it by the number of families yourself. Keep in mind that some families have athletes on more than one squad, and some booster clubs cover coach gifts from general funds.
Which buying guide should you read next?
All buying guidesTop cheer banquet results are near-identical generic listicles. This page is position-aware (flyer, base, backspot, front spot), gives each category a criterion, an engraving line with exact character count and a matching Sideline Trophy Co product, and explains school-cheer versus all-star differences.
Keep coach appreciation and competitive recognition as separate categories inside one purchase, with their own wording owners, quantities and presentation deadlines.
Choose a per-athlete or per-squad recognition rule before counting crossover athletes, then keep approved achievements and presentation handoffs separate from roster appearances.
Use the event-approved division label and season, keep squad identity separate, and review every qualifier before shortening or formatting the inscription.
