2023-2024 Fundraising Calendar

Posted on by

The band offers many different fundraisers during the season to help offset both student costs and that of the band proper.

We have three different types of fundraisers.  All fundraisers that band members sell and deliver items are run on a 25%-75% split of profit.  Band members receive 75% of the profit per item and the band proper recieves 25%.  Fundraisers that are product based where the band member picks up the product and must deliver to their customers. Fundraisers that are coupon based where the band member picks up coupons for the items that they sell.  Band members can either redeem the coupons and deliver the items to the customer or deliver the coupons to the customer and they themselves can redeem the coupons.  The third type is the whole band fundraisers where band members assist in the events in and all proceeds go directly to the band proper.

Please use the following link to access an up to date listing of all fundraisers.
