General Band Booster Fundraising
We have several opportunities to support local businesses, while earning money for the TWCP Band! Each one of these sponsors offers a "money back" to the Band for certain purchases. See each sponsor for details!
Fundraising has become essential to the success of the Cavalier Band. Conroe ISD covers only the basic band costs such as the directors’ salaries, uniforms for marching and some larger instruments. Most other costs fall to the parents. These include the color guard directors’ salaries, the marching show and music, clinicians and techs, extra equipment, some transportation costs and all the extras that make an exceptional band program.
This is what your Fair Share fee goes toward making possible!
To make this as financially painless as possible, each year we try to find fundraising activities that can help families to raise credit toward their Fair Share. This year we have quite a few proven winners and a new opportunity that we are very excited about.
One of our easiest and most profitable fundraisers is the Kroger Card. Kathy Reedy is our chairperson and she will be available at band events to provide you with Kroger Cards.
THE KROGER CARD FUNDRAISER PROGRAM
Each card costs $1.00 (the amount preloaded onto the card) and can be paid for with cash or check through the College Park Cavalier (CPC) Band Booster Club. Only $1.00 is on the card initially. Before purchasing groceries, have your card “recharged” at the checkout for up to $100 by check or over $100 by credit or debit cards. You can “recharge” at the
NOTE: The card must be “recharged” in a separate transaction before the cashier rings up the groceries. Also, it takes about 10 minutes for the “recharging” to be recognized throughout the store unless you go through the same register.
2008 Travel Voucher Raffle
This is one of our biggest fundraisers that goes towards your student's fair share! This year there will be several prizes available to win! The Grand Prize is a travel voucher worth $3500 to the Caribbean and the best part is that for each ticket sold, 75% of it goes to your student's fair share account!

Pizza Cards
The
Concessions at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
As we enter our third year as Band Boosters, we are delighted to announce that we now have this excellent opportunity to add to our fundraising options. Aramark, the company that runs the concessions at the Pavilion, allows non-profit organizations such as ours to man a booth in return for a percentage of the sales. The season runs from March through November with plenty of opportunities for many members. Gayle Russell is our concessions chairman and can provide you with all the details for getting on the volunteer list for this opportunity. The only requirements are TABC certification and a willingness to listen to some good music while you earn Fair Share credit. Gayle’s e-mail address is jgruss01@swbell.net . Drop her an e-mail and she will give you the information for certification.
Music and Arts Fundraising
Music and Arts has allowed us the opportunity to serve the band community by helping other schools to get their instruments rented, etc, while making money towards our student's fair share. Training is required to help work these registration shifts that are held either in the store, or at different schools. Each shift is rewarded with funds towards your fair share total! For more info, contact Teresa Baldwin at tbaldwin@twcpband.com.
