FUND RAISING OPPORTUNITIES
As you see from the schedule - there are a number of trips the
band and guard is participating in this year. There are multiple
fundraising opportunities to assist with these costs. Current and
ongoing opportunities include:
-
 Trash
Bags White, Yellow, and JUMBO Blue rolls of trash bags
are a very successful way to add to personal trip accounts.
Rolls of trash bags sell for $10 and $3 of every roll goes
directly into the student's personal trip account. Need an easy
form to take orders - here's a
revised one with the blue bags listed. The bottom of your
order sheet can be turned in to a Band Booster representative at
Thursday night practices for order fulfillment.
- QSP Reader's Digest Magazine
Sales - Didn't work as hard as you would have liked to on
the first of the year concentrated magazine sale? You can still
benefit from QSP Magazine sales. Click on the banner below, or
on the square banner at the bottom of the events calendar or the
Links page - you can order magazines directly through those
links - entering the student's name that the sale should be
credited to when the order is completed. It is a secure shopping
site - and students receive 40% of the sales credited to their
trip accounts.
