We’re asking everyone to help us raise funds for the band program, without spending a dime! If you have not already used the AmazonSmile program, you can select Howell Band Boosters as your beneficiary, and every time you shop on Amazon, you raise funds in support of band initiatives. Thanks to the efforts of parents and students, this year we are able to dedicate $3500 to instrument repair. The AmazonSmile program will help us do even more.
Once you set eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer's selected charitable organization.
In order to participate, you can use our unique charity link: https://smile.amazon.
This link will take you directly to smile.amazon.com in support of your organization so they won’t have to search for your charity among almost a million other organizations.
Buffalo Wild Wings:
Our next fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings is set for March 11th (THIS Sunday). Its easy:
1. Go to B-dubs with lots of friends.
2. Show the flyer (attached).
3. Watch the game.
4. Eat, drink, repeat.
It's a great day to be at B-dubs because the NCAA Men’s Basketball brackets will be announced on TBSthis Sunday, which will also be the home of the Final Four on March 31.
Now, if you really want to amplify the impact of your spending, be sure to bring the discount card you bought from your band student. It give’s you $5 off! Don’t have one? Well watch for the next email for a reminder.
Finally, you can triple-wammy your impact by paying for your meal with a gift card purchased through our Scrip program. More on that to follow too.
Fundraising Cards:
Cards are available in groups of 5 for $50.00. Students pre-pay for cards then keep money from sales when they sell them. For every $10.00 card sold a minimum of $7.20 per card will go on students account, that's at least $36.00 for 5 cards!
That’s great way to help pay for Boston or any other band expense your student may have. Interested? Send a note to Lisa Grager: lgrager@live.com
Howell Band Boosters Mailing List:
If you’re not already on the Howell Band Boosters mailing list, you can join easily by sending an email to:
We use this Google Group as part of a multi-point communication toolset that includes Facebook and the HHS Bands Blog. We use the list to share important information about band events, booster events, fundraising, and more.
