PUBLIX and BI-LO
REWARDS CARDS
Ongoing |
Pick
up a Irmo Band Publix card on any Thursday night. Use at
Publix when you shop and Publix will make a donation to the band. It
costs you nothing and the band benefits. If you would like a Publix
card, pick one up at the band field or e-mail us
and we will mail you one.
E-mail
theirmoband@yahoo.com. Use
your Bi-Lo Rewards card and Bi-Lo will make a donation to the band each
time you use your card at any store. To sign up, you pick up a coupon
during the Spirit Sale or any Thursday night, take it to Bi-Lo, and have
them scan it with your Bi-Lo Bonus card. You can also download and
print the
Bi-Lo Irmo Band Booster
Coupon yourself. You only need to do this once
a year, each fall. It costs you nothing and you still get all your normal shopping
benefits - plus the band benefits.
Both of these are general fundraisers. |
| FOOTBALL CONCESSION |
General
Fundraiser - We
will operate a concession at home football games
this year as a general fundraiser. We will
be selling drinks, chips, candy, etc. Please
look for us at the games. We need volunteers
to help staff this concession for all home
games. You can sign up for first half or
second half (or the whole
game!)Check the calendar for home games. |

FRUIT
|
Fruit Sale will start in late
October 2008. This is our largest
fundraiser of the year. Fruit almost sells itself, you just have to
ask. |

HoneyBaked Ham
Gift Certificates |
Watch for this in the
fall of 2008!
Here is a really great
fundraiser we have back this year - HoneyBaked
Ham gift certificates. These are sold in
denominations of $10, $25, $35, and $50 and are
good at any HoneyBaked Ham store,
with no expiration date.
The best part is
that 20% of the value comes back to the band.
Of this profit, 80% goes towards your assessment
account. So, for a $25 gift certificate, the
band gets $5 total. Of this $5, you get $4.
For a $50 certificate, you get $8.
As you a eat ham
or turkey for the holidays or give certificates
as gifts, what a great way to pay yourself at
the same time.
Make checks out
to "IBBC", label HoneyBaked, and place in
Booster box in the bandroom. |
PIZZA HUT
Concessions at the Colonial Center
|
Coming soon
for 2008.
The
Irmo Band has been once again been offered a
Fund Raising opportunity from Pizza Hut. Pizza
Hut operates two concession stands at the
Carolina Center for USC home basketball games
and other special events, such as concerts and
shows.
This is a
great way to earn funds that will go toward your
band assessment and have fun at the same time.
Usually three people are needed per event. Pizza
Hut pays $7.00 per hour and, as usual, the
General Band Fund gets 20% and the student (or
the person working for the student) gets the
remaining 80% for their band account. All
transfer of funds is done directly through the
Pizza Hut office. All you do is show up to work
for about 3-5 hours, depending on the event.

MORE TO COME!
Fundraising is
an integral part of the Bands of Irmo program.
Student
Assessments may be paid by cash, credit card or through
fundraiser profits earned by the student and their family.
Any band fundraiser that is designated as ‘individual’ or
‘general/individual’ will result in the pre-determined
portion being automatically added to the student’s individual
account when earned.
This money will be applied towards the assessment,
reducing the expense to the parent.
Fundraiser monies earned through participation in band
fundraisers cannot be used for the personal gain of any student.
