The young members of Apex at Entity Cheer & Dance are hoping to raise enough money so they can compete in Florida

Entity X Cheer and Dance Junior Hip Hop Team from Kingswinford have started the fundraising campaign to ensure that all 18 members of the Apex team are able to travel to Florida in April next year to take part in the All Star World Championships.

The team, which is comprised of girls aged between 12 and 15-years-old from Wolverhampton and Dudley, secured a bid to qualify for the championships, which will see the team compete against other teams from around the world.

In order to send the full team over, each member has been asked to raise £1,600 to pay for flights, accommodation and other costs while in Florida and Entity X owner and coach Karina Boyden said the youngsters were doing everything they could to raise the funds.

She said: "There's loads going on as we have a Go Fund Me page and we're doing different events, such as car boot sales and car washes, as well as a lot of personal fundraising.
