Zionsville Band Boosters FUNDRAISING
Band fees only cover 50% of the total cost of our programs. The other 50% comes from sponsorships, fundraisers, and other donations.
The Zionsville Bands Alumni Community Band at our Community Night fundraiser in Fall 2023.
Fundraisers that support the whole band:
Corporate Sponsorships: Sponsorships are available at Diamond ($5,000), Platinum ($2,400), Gold ($1,200), Silver ($600), and Bronze ($300). Benefits vary at different levels.
Power Hour: Each fall we host a Power Hour where the students work together to ask family and friends for donations. This is one of our single largest fundraisers for the program.
Product/Merchandise Sales: Annual spirit wear and other logo items such as tumblers, umbrellas, or blankets.
Mattress Sale: Every November, we hold a mattress sale where the entire community can come and purchase new mattresses. A portion of every sale gets donated to the band.
Marching Band/Guard Invitationals: Zionsville is host to over a dozen bands in fall and dozens of guard programs in the winter—with the help of our fantastic volunteers!
Dine to Donate: We Dine to Donate opportunities at local restaurants on a regular basis. An average of 20% of sales are donated back to the band. Find these events on the band calendar.
