GOOD OF THE SENATE Xm. ADJOURNMENT Posted in accordance with Nevada Open Meeting Law (N.R.S. 241.000) at the following locations: Moyer Student Union, Frank & Estelia Beam Hall, Flora Dungan Humanities, Classroom Building Complex and Thomas Beam Engineering Complex. MICHEAL J. AMESQUITA JR. UNLV Cheer and Dance CSUN Proposal I, Nakia Jackson, am submitting this proposal on behalf of the UNLV Cheer and Dance program. I would like to request a donation from CSUN in the amount of $5,000.00 to cover the cost of new uniforms. Please see below for additional information. Break Down of Cost UNLV Rebel Girls 13 Members 13 + 2 extra uniforms $1,050.00 UNLV Coed Cheerleaders 22 Members 11 female + 2 extra uniforms $1,363.70 11 male + 2 extra uniforms $1,480.70 UNLV All-Girl Cheerleaders 16 Members 16 + 2 extra uniforms $1,888.20 The Total Amount $5,782.60 The amount the Department is contributing To date, UNLV Cheer and Dance has spent over $14, 000 on uniforms and miscellaneous items for next year's team. $5,400.00 Nike Apparel- cheerleading shoes, bags and warm-ups $1,425.00 Pom Poms and Megaphones $550.00 Dancer Shoes $700.00 White Body Suits (uniform item) $1,000.00 Replacement Uniforms due to wear and tear $5,600.00 Mats (The mats were purchased by the cheer and dance program, not the athletic department, as a safety precaution. This year UNR had an unfortunate accident when a girl fell from a pyramid. They are now ground bound (they can't do any stunting or building). Any Additional Contributors We have several proposals out for additional help. We also receive about $3,000 a year for scholarships from football and basketball season ticket holders. The UNLV Cheerleaders and Dancers also attend many appearances during the summer, fall and spring to raise additional money for the program. The Amount Requested $5,000.00 How it will benefit the University Community? The UNLV Cheerleaders and Dancers do a lot of PR work for the University. They attend pep rallies, parades, Premier UNLV, Fall Student Orientation, viewing parties at the Dining Commons, numerous athletic events, etc. Their presence is also requested at several corporate events throughout the year. Why the funding is needed? The Athletic Department budgets the following for the Cheer and Dance program: $7,500.00 Coaches Salaries The Head Cheer and Dance Coach each make $4500.00/year The Dance Coach Assist makes $2000/year The Cheer Coach Asst. makes $1000/year The All-Girl Coach makes $3500.00/year Total Cost in Salaries: $15,500.00 $10,000 Scholarships 1st Semester Scholarships total $7500.00 2nd Semester Scholarships total $12,750.00 Total Coast in Salaries: $20,250.00 ** We adjusted the way that scholarships were awarded for the 2003-2004 school year so that more members in the program would benefit. $1,200.00 Operating Expenses ( As you can see, we operate on limited funding from our athletic department. The money that we receive is supposed to cover scholarships, travel, uniforms, coaches' salaries and any additional items that we would like to purchase for our cheerleaders and dancers. We rely heavily on donations and fundraisers. And, we are fortunate to have very talented teams for the upcoming year. We would like to see at least two of the teams compete on a national level. The expense, per team, to compete in Orlando or Daytona is at least $25,000/team. UNLV is a great University, and seems to be making advances daily. Unfortunately, the Cheer and Dance program is so limited in its funding and is often looked upon as a lesser program, it hasn't had the opportunity to excel in years. We want our program on the map and added to the list of UNLV's accomplishments. We have a very dedicated and hard working staff that can make that happen, but we need your help. If you have additional questions, I can be reached at 493-8684 or by email, nakia_Jackson@hotmail.com. Thank you for your consideration.
