Booster Update!

Panera Bread Fundraiser:  THIS Saturday, October 27th from 4-8p at the Alpine Panera Bread  20% of sales will be donated back to our organization. Donation is determined by pre-tax sales from participating orders. They require a minimum of $100 in sales brought in by our organization in order to make a donation. A printed flyer or an electronic version of the flyer on a mobile phone or tablet must be presented when ordering. The flyers cannot be passed out onsite the night of the event—you must do this ahead of time.  If you order online, use the code PRFUND as your promo code.  Click here for the Panera Bread flyer.

Chocolate Sales:  We still have a lot of students that need to turn in their chocolate money.  Please do so THIS WEEK!!  High School students can still check out boxes to sell.  The next chocolate check out date will be THIS Wednesday the 24th after band class.  Please have your student see Mrs. Karns if they want to check out another box!

Family Fare Receipts:  We are now over $100,000 in receipts!!  Please note, Family Fare is now offering email receipts.  If you do this, you will need to print your receipt at home and send it in.   Other notes, if you do not use your Yes Card, your receipt cannot be used for this fundraiser and if you do not give us the entire receipt, we cannot use them either.  Thank you for your receipts.  Keep them coming!!  Boxes are located in the band room and the high school front office.

Silent Auction:  We were able to raise $1,883.00 towards the student’s New York trip.  Thank you for your support!!

New York Trip Payments:  Please remember that we will NOT be issuing checks from student’s accounts.  If you would like to use the funds, you will need to fill out the form under the Band Boosters tab or use the payment coupon.

Banquet lids, silverware & hotpads:  If you are missing any of these items from Saturday night, I have a few.  A photo of the items are on our Coopersville Bands Facebook page.  If one of them is yours, please let us know.  Wednesday I will be putting them in the band room with names (if I get names) an each of the items for your student to take home.
