Dear Band Family,
Our band/color guard students are doing a 10K/6.2 mile
March-A-Thon as a fundraiser on Saturday, September 19, 2009.
Each student received a packet of detailed information last week.
Some students picked theirs up during Registration; others received
theirs on Wednesday during band camp.
This is the first March-A-Thon our band has ever done, and
gauging by the success of other bands in town, this can be a huge
money-maker! We need 100%
participation from our band/color guard members for this to be successful!
We challenge each band/color guard member to collect $200.
When each student does their part, we'll make $24,000.
120 students x $200 = $24,000.
WOW!
As an incentive for the students, for every $100 they
bring in, their name will go in a drawing for mall gift certificates.
$200 in donations = 2 chances in the drawing
$500 in donations = 5 chances in the drawing
The band sections have a friendly competition going
amongst themselves. The first
section that gets 100% participation (each section member brings in $200)
will be rewarded with a pizza party.
Another way you can support our March-A-Thon is by getting
corporate sponsors. We need
their support to buy T-shirts, lunch, snacks/water, and to pay for the
policemen and school buses that will accompany us on September 19th.
If you know of a business willing to support our band, please contact
Gayle Campion at 469-252-4847 for tax ID information.
Attached is a flier with the sponsorship levels available:
Bronze - For a $500 donation - Their company name/logo
will go on our official Marchathon '09 T-shirt.
Silver - For a $750 donation, their company name/logo will
go on our T-shirt AND on our official banner made especially for this year's
event.
Gold - For a $1,000 donation, their company name/logo will
go on our T-shirt, on our banner, AND we'll put a link to their business on
our website.
This fundraiser can only work if YOU do!
Please do your part to raise funds to support our award-winning band
program at Frisco High!
