Champions On & Off the Field

The Avon Eagles Booster Club is the lifeblood of its Ohio community, supporting over 20 sports across fall, winter, and spring. From soccer to swimming, dance to lacrosse, they’re dedicated to fueling every team’s success while fostering a culture of connection and pride.

Stephanie Kiesel, the club’s president, knows this firsthand. With nearly two decades of booster involvement, she’s seen how their efforts transform both teams and the community. But with so many teams and events, managing payments and fundraisers was a juggling act — until they found Cheddar Up.

“Cheddar Up has been a total game-changer. It’s so easy to use, helps us stay organized, and makes collecting payments a breeze. We’ve been able to get all our teams on board, and it saves us hours of work.”

Streamlining the Game Plan

Before Cheddar Up, managing Avon Eagles’ operations meant juggling paper checks, clunky spreadsheets, and scattered communication. Keeping track of it all wasn’t just time-consuming; it was stressful.

That’s where Cheddar Up came in. With its all-in-one platform, the boosters now run everything from apparel sales to fundraisers with ease:

  • Warm-Up Gear Made Simple:  Football parents love the one-stop collections for grade-specific gear orders. From freshmen to varsity, each grade gets exactly what they need—no confusion, no headaches.
  • Dance Team Done Right: Stephanie uses forms for everything from costume sizing to parent info, making orders for 40 dancers smooth and error-free.
  • Fundraising Made Fun: Their “Wheelbarrow of Fun” raffle and “Night at the Races” draw big crowds year after year. With Cheddar Up, selling tickets, managing donations, and reporting results feels effortless.

“QR codes have been a game-changer for us,” Stephanie shared. “We use them for everything — social media, flyers, even try-on days for uniforms. Parents can scan and pay in seconds.”

Since adopting Cheddar Up, the Avon Eagles Booster Club has experienced big wins:

  • Time Savings: Centralized collections mean less chasing payments and more time supporting teams.
  • Seamless Sharing: QR codes and shareable links make promoting events and fundraisers faster than ever.
  • Community Buy-In: With Cheddar Up, parents can pay however they like, from credit cards to ACH, and love the instant receipts.

Fueling a Winning Spirit

The Avon Eagles Booster Club isn’t just about sports — it’s about community. Their annual Superbowl fundraiser with rival Avon Lake brings people together for a great cause, and their summer raffles keep the excitement going year-round. For Stephanie, being part of this booster club is more than a role — it’s a chance to make a difference.

“It’s a special place to live, and the schools, teachers, and parents care so much about each other. Cheddar Up helps us give back and support what makes this community great,” Stephanie said.
