  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!
