About 40 members of a metro area Impact Xtreme Cheer group have their sights set on a mid-March cheerleading competition at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

But first they need to raise enough money for the trip that is fast-approaching.

"We need our community's help to make sure that our girls are able to compete on an even bigger stage," the team coaches expressed in an email to The Oklahoman.

Cheer team members, ranging in ages from 5 to 14, are from across the Oklahoma City metro area and make up Impact Xtreme Royalty and Impact Xtreme Reign squads.
