2014 BAILEY BAND PRACTICE-A-THON

WHAT ARE WE DOING?• Welcome to the 2014 Practice-A-Thon!

• What is the Practice-A-Thon you ask?

• A Practice-A-Thon is a 3-Phase Fundraiser.

• Phase 1: Get Pledges

• Phase 2: Practice

• Phase 3: Collect Money and Earn Prizes

• It’s awesome because we, the band get to keep all the money!

• Awesome sauce!

WHY ARE WE FUNDRAISING?• The funds we raise will go toward:

• Sheet Music

• Lesson Scholarships

• Food/Treats at Special Events (like Chic-fil-a breakfasts and Cici’s Pizza etc…)

• Buses/Transportation to places like Sandy Lake, NRH2O, etc…

• Entry fees for things like Sandy Lake, NRH2O, etc…

PHASE 1: GET PLEDGES• Phase 1 Starts on Sept. 29 until Oct. 5.

• People can donate to you in two ways:

• They can pledge $ per minute of practice (lets say they pledge 10¢ per minute—if you practice 200 minutes then they owe you $20).

• Or they can donate a flat rate to you (they just give you money).

• You can ask Family, Friends, and other people that you and your family knows to donate.

DONATION FORMS• Take a look at the donation form in your packet.

• Step one! Write your name where it goes.

• Step two…write in what instrument you play.

• Now Dennis is ready to go ask family members, friends, neighbors he knows, and other people he and his family know for donations!

MORE DONATION FORMS• Dennis lives near his grandmother, so he walks over to her house.

• Dennis: *knocks on the door*

• Grandma: *opens the door* Oh Dennis! It’s so good to see you!

• Dennis: Hi Grandma! I’d like to tell you about a fundraiser my school band is doing.

• Grandma: Ok!

• Dennis: We are having a practice-a-thon. I’m asking you to sponsor me for each minute I practice next week. For example, if you promise 20¢ per minute and I practice 100 minutes then you’ll give me $20 to donate to the band. Or if you’d like to donate just a flat amount that would be great too!

• Grandma: Sounds good! Put me down for 20¢ per minute!

• Dennis: Thanks Grandma!
