BIG Fundraising Opportunity - REMINDER - Corporate Sponsorships!
Hello Band Family!
New to this year, we have a corporate sponsorship program to reach out to companies in the community to help the band program reach its financial goals for the year. For the first time, 20% of all donations you bring in will be applied to your student's fair share account. That makes this a great opportunity to help the band while lowering your personal costs!
We have additional expenses this year -- in addition to everything we've always done, we are separately raising money for the London trip. When a company makes a contribution, they can choose which fund (or funds) they want their money to go to.
The Sponsorship Packet outlines the details of the sponsorship program and all of the recognitions we make for our sponsors. It also includes instructions to make payments through the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, and an appeals letter from Mrs. Murthy.
Donation instructions for band parents:
- Share the Sponsorship Packet, with any companies or individuals that may be interested in sponsoring the band program and discuss the giving opportunities. Include companies that you work for and regularly do business with. Be sure to check with your employer for matching donation programs they may have, too.
- Have the sponsor follow the payment instructions on page 3 of the document.
- Checks can be mailed to the Education Foundation or given directly to you. Turn in checks that you collect to the safe in the band room.
- Checks made out to the Education Foundation of Palm Beach need to include "Park Vista Band" in the memo field.
- Credit card donations can be made at https://educationfoundationpbc.org/donate
- Important: Fill out the sponsorship Google form to let us know that the donation is coming and which fund it should be routed to. This is also required to get fair share credit for the donation. The form is available at: https://forms.gle/gqFF1La4sXpDvHEQ7
If a sponsor is interested in donating goods or services, we can recognize and reward this contribution as well. Please discuss in-kind donations with Seth, the Sponsorship Coordinator at sponsorships@parkvistaband.com first to make sure that the band can make use of the item. Note: In-kind donations do not earn fair share.
There is no deadline for this program -- you can keep reaching out to companies throughout the year. This program is a great addition to the Program ads. The Sponsorship Packet can be shared with companies when you are selling ads or after that program's deadline.
