Cheer & Mascot Appearance Request Form

Willie Wildcat and the K-State Cheerleaders attend hundreds of events each year. We make every effort to accommodate as many requests as possible. In order for you to be considered for an appearance, you must complete the online form below.

Appearance Policy

  • Requests must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the event date.
  • Appearances are not to exceed two hours.
  • All fees must be received before the scheduled event.
  • Due to the time demands on our volunteer students, we cannot guarantee that every request will be fulfilled.
  • Completion of this form does not guarantee that your request will be fulfilled.
  • Appearances require a private and secure changing area for Willie.
  • Use of Willie and Cheer in promotional materials, advertisements, and/or social media must be approved by K-State Athletics in advance of the event.

Appearance Fees

Appearances serve as a fundraiser for the K-State Cheerleading and Mascot program. Fees issued go directly to help support equipment/uniform upkeep, travel, and national competitions. Appearance fees are as follows:

  • A unit, department, student organization, or college of K-State: $250.00 per hour
  • A corporate partner of K-State, Junior Wildcats Club member, or non-profit agency: $350.00 per hour
  • A private-owned entity (i.e. grand opening) or private event (i.e. birthday, wedding): $450.00 per hour
  • Plus the Travel Fee: In addition to the appearance fee, all events require the cost of travel to and from the event at $0.50 per mile.*

* Events inside the city limits of Manhattan, KS, while the fall and spring semesters are in session may not be required to pay travel expenses. All other events will require mileage as determined by the Cheer and Mascot office.

Make checks payable to K-State Cheer/Mascot (Cash is NOT accepted). Payments must be received before the appearance can take place.
