Come eat at On the Border in Plano and mention Hebron Band and 20% of sales will be donated back to us! If you have a work lunch scheduled, gently request that it be held at On the Border! If you have a lunch date with a friend or significant other, you can do the same thing! You can eat in the restaurant for a nice night out with the family or pick up and eat at home! Hope to see you there!

#HebronBand #AIATT #OnTheBorderfundraiser

Welcome back to school and Spring Semester! It won’t be quite as crazy as the fall was, but we do still have quite a few things coming up that we need volunteers for.

If you have any questions reach out to Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org

• We’ve started working on the Band Golf Tournament fundraiser that will be taking place at the end of May. We have a new golf tournament lead and a whole new team running it this year, and it’s going to be fabulous, but there are a lot of details that go into hosting a tournament and we could really use some more help. In particular, we could use more help with the sponsor/donor/silent auction parts of the tournament. The golf tournament has the potential to raise a lot of money for the band, so please come help us make it a huge success! If you’d be interested in helping, please e-mail Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org or Sarah Durrant at fundraising@hebronband.org.

• Region Band Clinics and Concerts are coming up this weekend, and we still need TEN volunteers to chaperone on January 12 & 13. Please see the signup for all the details.

We had a very successful Fall Fundraising Season. We are 80% of the way to our yearly fundraising goal, but it will take the success of all our Spring Fundraisers to get us to our goal!!

Did you know that 1/3 of the Hebron Band Budget comes from fundraising?

Why do we do so much fundraising? We want to keep our band program accessible to all families. Without fundraising, our band fees would have to increase by over $1000!!!

Please help the band and participate in ALL fundraisers!!

The Hebron HS Band Mattress Fundraiser is coming soon. We will have a mandatory Parent Zoom Meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9th, at 7 pm (25 mins) so you can learn more about the Fundraiser and how we can best help the band maximize our profits.

Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88600050419?pwd=VER5ZmJabjhTeTFHMmhKRHRZMS9hQT09 Meeting ID: 886 0005 0419 Passcode: 862535

BONUS:

As a part of our upcoming fundraiser, the company that we are working with is donating $5 to our group for every parent in attendance. This is an easy opportunity to support our program, just by sharing a few minutes of your time.

• Fundraising Credit:

  Students will receive credit towards their $450 fundraising goal with every family/friend that makes a purchase.

  1 mattress or 1 adjustable base - $25 fundraising credit
