There are several programs the band has to help raise fund for your personal account and the band overall fund. Look through the offerings and PLEASE sign up for those that don’t cost you anything!
BEST Ways to RAISE FUNDS:
Spirit Wear
One of the best ways to support the band is to buy some of this year’s spirit wear. It’s a win-win for the band and for you as you represent the Pride of the West at games, competitions and around town.
SCRIP
Scrip is a chance to earn a profit for your student every time you shop with a “no cost to you” fundraiser. Learn more on the Scrip fundraising page.
