There are two separate sign-ups: “UIL Hosting, Contest Helpers” AND “UIL Hosting, Directors & Officials Meals”.

Please sign-up for as many shifts as you can, it’s a really fun event to be a part of!

• The Guard Fundraising Gala is on April 26th. We need help prepping before the gala and we need lots of help on the day of the gala. See the sign-up for all the details!
• The Hebron Band Golf Tournament is on May 31st. The sign-up is now live for day of volunteers, you are not going to want to miss out serving at this super fun event!! Adults even get a free band t-shirt for volunteering! We are hard at work and hoping to make this our biggest fundraiser of the spring, so please come help us make it a success!

“C” is for COOKIE, that’s good enough for me! Don’t be a cookie monster, buy cookie dough for your Mom or other women in your life for Mother’s Day! Buy them for your neighbor who you always borrow stuff from! Buy them for your boss before asking for a raise;) Impress your Prom date with your baking skills!

Heck, treat yourself! These are frozen and come pre-cut so they could not be easier to bake.

If you participated in butter braids, this fundraiser is very similar.

Here’s how it works:

1. Share this flier with friends and family via text, email, AND social media. The sale is ONLINE ONLY and will last from Sunday, April 14th until Monday April 29th.

2. Family and friends will choose your name and order here: https://www.hebronband.org/cookie dough

3. On Thursday, May 9th, the cookie dough will be delivered to Hebron and you will pick up your orders after school from 4-5:30 pm in Circle Drive.

4. You will deliver your cookie dough to friends and family. These come frozen and need to be delivered immediately or stored in your freezer until delivery, which needs to be completed before Mother’s Day!

We are asking that every band student sell at least 2 cookie dough, but if you want to sell more, that is wonderful! Even if you have met your fundraising goal, we are still asking each student to sell 2!!!

The TOP 5 Sellers will get a FREE cookie dough of their choice!

Don’t want to sell cookies? You can do the buyout here - https://paybee.io/@hebronband@91

If you have any questions, please reach out to Jessica Gillespie & Alison McCoy at butterbraids@hebronband.org
