Silent Auction / Rafle Fundraiser Is Almost Here!
Our final fundraiser for 2010 is quickly approaching. Feb. 5th, 2010 will be a
combined concert with 8th graders from the 4 middle schools and our own Boyd
Bands. Along with this event, a Silent Auction/Raffle will be taking place. We need all
families to come up with at least one donation with a value of at least $25.00 for this
event. I am not asking you to purchase anything, instead go to a business that you
frequent and ask for a donation. Example might be a nail salon, your hair dresser,
dry cleaners, car wash, day spa to name a few. Places that you visit often are more
apt to donate because you are their patron. In addition to your donation, your student
is also putting together baskets from their section to be sold at the auction. Please
ask your student to communicate with you on what they are required to bring to class.
Silent Auction Donation Form
Deadline for all donations is Feb. 1st, but to get a companies donation listing on our
website, deadline is Jan. 25th. Send all items to the band room.
