Help support the Special Olympics Texas Pirate Pride Cheer Team as they fundraise to continue their Special Olympics Texas Journey!

Help Support the Pirate Pride Cheer Team! Pirate Pride Cheer is an inclusive cheer team within Crandall ISD for students with intellectual disabilities, ages 8–21, that provides opportunities to show their PIRATE PRIDE at district games, community events, and other district activities throughout the year while following Special Olympics guidelines.

Our program is completely free for families and funded solely through donations and grants. For the 2026–2027 season, we have 20 team members and are seeking support to provide essential items such as uniforms, pom-poms, and team spirit gear. Your donation helps promote inclusion, build confidence, and increase school involvement for students who may not otherwise have access to extracurricular opportunities—because in Pirate Nation, everyone matters.
