FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES

Shopping on Amazon for the Holidays?
This is a great time for the Boosters to remind your to do your Amazon shopping at smile.amazon.com. You do NOT need to be a Prime member and it costs you nothing more on your purchases!

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, last year we were able to dedicate $3500 to instrument repair. The AmazonSmile program will help us do even more.

Once you set up AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will normally donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer's selected charitable organization, but during th

In order to participate, you can use our unique charity link: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/46-4579875

This link will take you directly to smile.amazon.com in support of our organization so you won’t have to search for your charity among almost a million other organizations. You will not see “Howell Band Boosters.” Instead you’ll see "Parent Booster USA Inc” in Howell MI. This is normal and expected.
