This year we have organized many fundraisers to help fund the band and the students’ accounts for the upcoming trip to Orlando in March. Following is a list of events. We are always open to suggestions – so please feel free to contact any of us if you’d like to offer your ideas!

This year we will again be operating 'Dippin Dots' stands at home games from September through November. Both parents and children can volunteer for these fundraisers. We try to have two sets of parent/child teams at each of two stands. This year we also ran concession carts with 2 people per cart. It's fun and not hard work for parents or kids.

This is one of our biggest overall money-makers for the year and we are fortunate to have this opportunity. We will try to work a concession stand at about 30 Assembly Hall events this year. Each event requires seven (7) adults, one of which is pre-trained and serves as the manager for the concession stand.

For this easy fundraiser, all you have to do is fill out the form below to register, and drop it off at any IGA grocery store. This designates your support of Edison Band, so that whenever you use your IGA card they donate a percentage of sales to us.

If you don't have a form, we have a PDF file of the form to print off: See IGA form >

This is another very simple fundraiser that many of you are already aware of. Just cut out Box Tops for Education found on many grocery products and send them to school with your student. We have a collection box in the band room that says 'Box Tops'. This is a great trash to treasure fundraiser that generates income with little effort.

We have several other fundraisers planned, that are mentioned in the table above.

If you have other ideas for raising money or would just like to get involved, please do not hesitate to contact the Fundraising Committee. Your help is welcome!

For some people, their preferred method of supporting the band is a monetary contribution. This is a wonderful way to easily and directly support the band – simply write out a check to Edison Band Patrons. You can contact any of the Fundraising Committee members, who will gladly receive your donation, or send your check attention Mike Lehman at Edison.
