Well, our mass-mailing through the Burbank Chamber of Commerce membership has been paying off. With the donation from Dreamworks for the soundtrack recording and the mass-mailing, we are close to $14,000 in funds that have been placed in a protected fund called "The Major Uniform Purchase Fund".
With Cathy Whitakers help, we were able to account for every dollar donated toward this purchase. We hope one day very soon our program can purchase the much needed marching band and color guard uniforms. Our current uniforms are between 11 and 17 years old. Yes!, 17 years old.
September is almost here and with that hopefully comes good news from Starbucks California Giving Program. About 4 months back I wrote a formal grant for $50,000 for our much needed uniform fund and for new instruments. Cross your fingers everyone!!!
If you would like to join the grant and public relations committees, please contact us at c_pr@jbhsband.org and c_grant@jbhsband.org
GO MARCHING INDIANS!!! |

Is there any word on the Starbucks grant? _________________ Emily Loves Aquafina.
