Fundraising FAQ

Q: What fundraisers does BBB participate in?

Many different fundraising opportunities occur throughout the year. Fundraising information is also discussed and passed out at the end of Tuesday rehearsals, in class and at Booster General meetings. Remember that most fundraisers give a percentage of the profit earned by BBB to the participating student's account.

Most fundraisers that are not a specific “event” are 2 weeks long. Parents are responsible for any unpaid or damaged merchandise from a fundraiser (i.e. candy sales). Your Student Account will be debited for unpaid, lost or damaged merchandise. All fundraisers have specific turn-in dates. You may lose your profits to your account if the money is turned in past the deadline.

Again, the best thing for our program is for all families to participate actively in fundraising. It not only helps the General Fund which pays for the vast majority of the cost of running the program, it also saves parents money! Parents should encourage their students to fundraise as much as possible! Please contact us if you have questions!

Q: How does the band raise money?

Less than 5% of the band’s budget comes from the school district. In the spring of every year, the BBB plan fundraisers for the upcoming year. These fundraisers are designed to raise money with the least amount of time spent by students and parents. Examples include a crab feed, silent auction, fireworks booth during 4th of July time, sponsoring local competitions for the marching band and winter groups, car washes, rummage sales, decal blitzes, special performances for the community, and much more. Many fundraisers are run completely by the BBB, and others include student participation. Parents will be kept informed about all fundraising activities through announcements at school and rehearsals, as well as here on our website.
