OurFund Spring 2016

OurFund 2016 Flier

This spring the Sherwood Band Boosters are launching an All Bands fundraiser that requires no selling products, knocking on doors or collecting money! Do you have friends and family that would like to support the Sherwood Bands program, but live far away? Participation in the OurFund fundraiser takes less than 10 minutes and reaches far and wide!

We are challenging each middle school and high school band student to raise $100 each on the Sherwood Band Booster’s OurFund website. With 250 middle school band students and 120 high school band students we have the potential to raise over $35,000!!! The Sherwood Band Booster page has a message from the Sherwood Band Directors – Mr. Stai, Mr. Dyer and Mr. Angeloni talking about the outstanding band programs in Sherwood and a message from Lennae Bishop, Band Booster President talking about the goals of the Sherwood Band Boosters. There is a video of the Star Wars medley performed at the All District Band concert and students can add individual pictures to personalize their page. Friends and relatives will get a very good picture of the outstanding Band Programs!

We are asking each middle school and high school band student to register with OurFund and enter a minimum of 5 email addresses. Directions are as follows:
