The Fundraising Committee needs your help with raising funds and finding meal sponsors for the season. We did a great job of securing sponsored meals for band camp, and now we need to secure meals for the marching season.
- This Google sheet contains a list of potential financial and meal sponsors. Please add your name next to the potential sponsors you plan to solicit. Add new sponsors if you know of a business that would be a good sponsor (e.g., your family dentist, pediatrician, favorite local restaurant, etc.). We would like to get a variety of different businesses to sponsor the band, and we want to make sure only one family is asking each business for sponsorship. Here is the link to the sheet: https://docs.
