FUNDRAISING INFORMATION
The Boosters organize many fundraisers throughout the year to support our programs. Funds raised go towards uniforms, sheet music, software programs, instrument purchases & repairs, and more. By far the most lucrative of our efforts is our concessions contract with University of Michigan Athletics. Last year, we were the largest fundraising organization within the U of M Athletics program! To continue this crucial effort, we need your help. By simply volunteering your time, you can help us continue the tradition of music excellence we are known for. In addition, we keep student earnings accounts for our students and by volunteering your time, a portion of the money earned can be applied to your student's private lessons, upcoming trips, and next year's band camp. Earn now and we'll save it for you until it's needed! As a reminder, ALL volunteers MUST be at least 16 years of age. Please take a look at our upcoming commitments and sign up to help where you can. Access the Sign-up Genius link at the top of the page!
In addition to our U of M fundraising, we encourage you to sign up for Raise Right, a gift card program that allows us to earn rebates towards band expenses. Purchase plastic or e-gift cards through Raise Right and 50% of your rebate goes directly to your student’s account. For those of you who are used to the 80%/20% split for Raise Right, please be advised that beginning today, September 1st, we are moving to a 50%/50% split for this school year. We are still paying off some of last year's Florida trip, and we need to maximize the portion of our earnings that go to the general booster fund. Once we are in a more stable financial situation, we hope to be able to move back to an 80%/20% split on rebates. Thank you for your understanding! To learn more about Raise Right or to sign up, visit www.raiseright.com. Our Enrollment Code is 2697722315392. In addition, learn more about using Raise Right at our first Booster meeting next week!
