Fundraising
SLBPA Fundraising Opportunities
Bingo
The Band has a weekly Bingo fundraiser at the First Presbyterian Church - this is our biggest money maker and significantly reduces the costs associated with the band program. Since the funds we receive from Bingo supports all bands, we ask for help from all parents 6x per year.
It's fun and a great way for the band to be active in our community. Also for every 4 hours that an adult works, $20 goes into your student's account. All of the hours that a student works can be counted as service hours towards a letter.
Raise Right
(Formerly ShopWithScrip.com)
Raise Right is a great way to shop at your normal stores and earn money for your band fees. 100% of what you earn goes directly to your student's account. Go to www.raiseright.com and sign up for an account.

United Way Work Donations
Many companies have a payroll deduction United Way program in place. In these programs you can often choose specifically where your donation will go. You can even specify a specific non profit to get your money. SLBPA is a qualified non profit that can be used here. You will need our address: South Lyon Band Parents Association, PO Box 74, South Lyon, MI, 48178. You may need our federal tax id: 38-3570736.

All proceeds go to the booster group.
Supper with Santa
Supper with Santa is a fundraiser/community event. This is done early in December and held at St Joseph Church. Typically 4:30pm - 8:00pm. The Jazz Band plays at this event for entertainment.
We serve a meal for the people that come (family friendly...hot dogs, mac and cheese...) and we ask for food donations for Active Faith. We charge for the event and give half of the profit to Active Faith.
​
We also do small crafts, games, face painting, and have Santa come where we do pictures.
All proceeds go to the booster group.
Poinsettia Sale
In early December we run a poinsettia sale.
​
In years that we have a band trip 100% of the profit goes to your student account based on their sales. In other years it is a 50/50 split with the students and the boosters.
