Fundraising

We are joining with the Band Boosters to raise the necessary funds not covered by our contract with Artist Travel Consultants. (See original information flyer sent home in June.) The biggest expense is related to the rental and transportation of the necessary instruments. We are still in the process of identifying the best possible configuration that gives our young musicians the best opportunity at creating the desired sound quality.

Questions? Contact Beth Nicosia, VP of Events and Fundraising.

Volunteers

Set in motion a variety of fundraising initiatives. We especially need parents who have experience with organizing events, social media, fundraising and logistics.
