Hello Marching Hawks Families!
We have a big fundraising weekend ahead, followed by the launch of our Play It Forward- Rapid Fundraising Blitz on Monday!
Here’s what you need to know:
Mile of Money this Weekend: 10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Students will be performing pep band music and collecting donations from our community at two locations:
- King Soopers- 136th & Colorado: Meet near Subway
- Lowe’s- 136th & Orchard: Meet on the south side of the parking lot in front of the store
Students have already divided themselves between the two locations, so please check with your student to make sure you know where to drop them off.
Friends, family, neighbors, and community members are welcome to stop by, hear the band, and support the Marching Hawks!
Play It Forward Fundraising Blitz, Begins Monday @3:30-5:00 pm!
Our biggest online fundraising push begins Monday, with a goal of raising $60,000 for the Marching Hawks!
Families: your biggest job this weekend is to help your student build their contact list. Please use the attached Contact List Worksheet and work together to identify at least 25 people your student can contact. Think grandparents, extended family, family friends, coworkers, neighbors, former teachers/coaches, friends’ parents, and anyone who has enjoyed watching your student perform.
Students who prepare 25+ contacts raise significantly more, and parents can make an even bigger difference by giving those contacts a quick heads-up before Monday that their student will be reaching out. The students will be calling between 3:30-5:00 pm.
Our $60,000 goal directly helps us keep marching band fees as low as possible while continuing to invest in our students and program. Last year’s incredible fundraising efforts helped us purchase our show shirts, upgrade our sound system, and purchase new instruments. This year, we’re focusing on new front ensemble equipment, working toward a new drumline, and continuing to upgrade our marching instruments for the future.
This weekend’s family homework: help your student get their 25+ contacts ready for Monday!
Don’t forget:
Peach pick-up will be this Saturday after Mile of Money, from 12:15-1:15 pm at Horizon. Look for the truck with all of the peaches on it!
Yes, you will receive a list of who ordered from you, so you know who to deliver the boxes to!
Thank you for helping make these opportunities possible for our students. When everyone participates, even small donations add up to a HUGE impact.
