I hate fundraisers that are like hey give me money. Every fundraiser we do the girls on the team work and it's not selling things. Its babysitting, hosting a cheer clinic, running a bingo, serving food etc.
I like this approach a lot better. My parents were never a big fan of fundraisers and would usually just pay the minimum amount themselves or else pay the opt out fee. Personally, I find asking for money to be very,very uncomfortable. I would rather offer a service and be paid for that.
It might be interesting if gyms let their cheerleaders sign up for chores and services that they would be able to do and other people could hire the cheerleaders out. For example, if you need your lawn mowed, or your toddler babysat or tile scrubbed, the gym could set up the job, but the money would go to help pay for that athlete's season.
