Wow, thank you for the generous outpouring of donations over the last few days! I'm not a super competitive guy (I promise), but I'm in second place on the Participants Leaderboard... First place is going to require another $601 dollars... Let's overtake Kris Starn currently in first place! 🙂 Please know that 100% of your donations go right back to the kids. We can either offset the cost of ToonBoom animation software, purchase another iPad for the classroom, or potentially even purchase a Wacom Cintiq (high end tablet). Again, thank you! I'm honored, humbled and thrilled with all of your support. Posted by on May 9

Almost to my goal ! If you have ever been a cheerleader or a coach, you understand the struggle of paying for all the “things” there are needed for a successful fun season. 34 San Marin teen girls made it through tryouts and and begin putting in the work to make the 2026 Varsity fall sports season and amazing one, not just for themselves, but for the spectators and football players on the field. Every donation makes a difference in showing your appreciation for these girls and all they do for the San Marin Mustang community. Thank you so much! Posted by Coach Penny Mustang Cheer!! on May 9

Huge thank you to my new donors! If you are local, I am humbly asking if you can share my donation page on scoail media. 🙂 Or even if you aren't local and you have a friend who was a cheerleader or coach and can appreciate the financial struggle and the hustle of the sport! 🤓. THANK YOU! Posted by Coach Penny Mustang Cheer!! on May 5

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported my Tour of Novato fundraiser. To me, this fundraiser is much more than numbers. It reminds me of Maya Angelou’s beautiful message that it takes a village to raise a child. This is a wonderful time of year when our community comes together, and it reminds us that education is at its best when we partner together. I am truly grateful to my supporters. Thank you for donating so generously and for believing in the work we are doing for our students. Posted by Almas Siddiqui on May 5

We just made selections for our 2026 Varsity fall team and I am so excited for the upcoming season! So many talented, kind, driven girls! We are in the last week of collecting donations and I am determined to reach my goal. ANY amount helps us purchase special swag for our team, so don't be shy. THANK YOU!

This season, I'm trading the sidelines for the saddle! I'm participating in the Tour of Novato ride to help raise funds for our cheer program. Our team works incredibly hard, brings energy and spirit to every event, and deserves the resources to keep doing what they love. Every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting our athletes. This money will help fund uniform expenses and training. Your contribution, big or small, makes a real difference for these dedicated students! I'd be so grateful for your support. Please consider donating and helping our cheer program thrive! 💛 Posted by Kristen Wright on April 8

Let's go everyone. Best Tour of Novato ever! Posted by Wilson Family on April 7
