Fundraising

Fundraising is a fun experience and helps both the band and the student.

There will be several opportunities for students and families to help raise funds for the band and for the student. This year several of the fund raisers have a profit sharing component with the student. From the profit of some fundraisers a portion will go into the students account with the Band Boosters and can be used for band fees, band trip and other costs associated with the band. Money earned by the student in fundraisers cannot be returned to the student as cash. Money can be held on account from year to year. The Student can also designate money from their band account to be used for other students or other band projects or needs.

Parking at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Parking cars at Lowe's is a fundraiser that is supported by Athletics and Band. Due to the contest schedule we have a desperate need to get volunteers from the band (parents, siblings and relatives are welcome) to help park cars. Middle school families are welcomed and encouraged to come out and help. The money raised at event not only supports the High School band but is also used to support the Middle School Bands.

Below is the parking schedule and how many volunteers are needed. Please see if this will fit into your schedule. Food and drink will be supplied as well as transportation to the Speedway. Contact the Band Director, Jody Lukac if you have any questions. Jody.Lukac@ucps.k12.nc.us

Thankyou from all the Band Boosters, Directors and Students. (WE NEED ADULTS TO GO ALONG AND HELP!

Opportunity - Sponsorship

Sponsorship program- Students and Parents are in a unique postion to act as sponsors or contact businesses that they are associated with to become a sponsor of the band.

Piedmont band welcomes sponsors and has a program to identify those who sponsor the band by identifying them on equipment, web-site, web-links and even adding a page on the web site. The amount sponsored determines how the sponsor will be identified.

Opportunity - Food Cards

Link food store cards to the Band.

One of the easiest ways to support the band is to get friends and family to link their food cards (Harris Teeter and Bi-Lo) to our Band. Once linked the band receives a small percentage of each purchase by someone linked to the band. This currenty brings the band hundreds of dollars each year. This has the opportunity though to bring in Thousands of dollars. Students can encourage friends and family to link their cards to help the band. No money earned from this fundraiser goes to student accounts.

See the information below on how to link your cards to the band. Also information will be handed out at band camp about this fundraising opportunity.

Opportunity - Cookie Dough Sales

The band will be selling cookie dough again in late fall around the Thanksgiving holiday. More details will follow.

ALL Band parents should try to get friends and relatives to Link their VIC card to the Band Boosters (1763). This is a constant income source for the Band. Please get this number to as many people as you can. Remember all they need to do is ask the cashier to link their VIC card when they are at the register. This does not prevent them from linking to other groups and it does not change links they currently have on their VIC card.
