Last Chance to Sign Up for Fundraiser!

Our SnapRaise Fundraiser launches on Wednesday, so we wanted to send out one last reminder to sign up and set up your account if you haven’t already done so. We only have 30 students who have signed up so far and we would like to have many more participate so they can collect donations for their Spring Trip and individual awards and other band events. Click on this link to sign up: http://raise.snap.app/join_code/641342567, and the video here can help explain the set up process if you are having trouble: https://vimeo.com/479649033/56b06a761d.

For those who have signed up and set up their account, most of them only have just a few email addresses loaded (less than 10). Our goal to shoot for is at least 20 email addresses and 10 cell phone numbers for texting. However, the system will still work and send out the invitations to donate even if you have less than 20. Make sure your emails/phone numbers do not include other students, fake emails/numbers, etc., and are only legitimate potential donors. After tomorrow, you can also send out your fundraiser page via your social media to ask for donations.

Please email the directors if you have any questions, and thank you for participating in our fundraiser!

SnapRaise Fundraiser Information

We are excited to announce that we have entered into a new partnership with SnapRaise as our fundraiser this year and moving away from selling chocolate. This will help the directors have more time to manage our program, teach our students, and still give your child the opportunity to ask for financial support from relatives, businesses, and social groups.

If you choose to participate, you will be asked to login to our secure campaign website built specifically for our band program. Your student, with your help, will be asked to gather 20+ email addresses. These email addresses and contacts are strictly protected and are not shared or sold outside of this fundraiser. After your student uploads their contacts, the fundraiser platform takes care of the rest. Remember, it’s all online, so you can invite relatives and friends from across the nation or even another country!

We will send another message soon to allow you to create an account and register for this fundraiser. You will then pre-load 20+ email addresses of only legitimate potential donors, NOT other students, fake emails, etc. Our campaign starts in 2 weeks on Wednesday, September 13 and runs until Wednesday, October 11. All emails should be pre-loaded by September 13, and once our fundraiser launches, people will receive the message asking them to donate. You can also share your student’s personalized fundraiser page via text and social media!

SnapRaise is one of the safest options for our program to raise money. Not only does their fully digital approach eliminate the need for door-to-door sales, but the security of raising money using a PCI compliant platform gives peace of mind. Our students’ digital security is also a top priority, and their privacy and property are strictly protected. Your student can engage their network of fans and raise money utilizing the online website, all while safely protecting their personal information.

Please message Mr. Pulley if you have any questions about our fundraiser.
