Fundraising

A special thank you to the Community Foundation of Grundy County for a generous grant of $11,666 for the purchase of new instruments!

The band relies on fundraising efforts from individuals as well as our booster organization in order to help fund the program. Below you will find information about individual fundraisers for student trips and general fundraisers for the band as a whole.

If you or anyone you know if interested in donating money, instruments, or other items to the band program, please reach out to 

Mr. Hendricks at mhendricks@morrishs.org.

Current Fundraisers

Below you will find information about current fundraisers that students can take advantage of for their individual account.

Students can take advantage of these fundraisers to raise money for band trips.

Scrips by RaiseRight (Year Round)

Scrips is a  fundraiser that students an families can take advantage of year round! What you do for this fundraiser is but gift cards for you to use at all major retailers. With every gift card you purchase through Scrips, a percentage is kicked back to your student's individual account.


For example, if you do all your shopping at Walmart, instead of paying with cash or a credit/debit card, you can purchase a Walmart gift card through Scrips, and get a percentage of your money back into your student's account!


Gift cards are purchased through the RaiseRight website, and all you need to do is sign up! 

You can sign up using this link. (https://www.raiseright.com/enroll)

On the part of the website that says "Join an existing program" you will enter the code below. I have also attached an image to this email showing where to go.

One you join you will be prompted to make an account. Follow the steps on the screen and you will be good to go! You can shop gift cards for hundreds of retailers, and each one will provide a different percentage of "Cash Back" for your student.


There are two ways you can receive your gift cards. You may order the cards and have them shipped directly to your house, which is ideal for family members who live out of state or far away, but if you use this method it may take 7-14 days for your order to be fulfilled.

You also can have the cards shipped to our fundraising coordinator, who will distribute them in bulk. You will receive your cards faster with this method, but a small percentage of your earnings will be kept by the band boosters to cover the cost of shipping.

If you ship to the coordinator you must pay with a credit card. We will not be handling cash/checks for this fundraiser.


This is an excellent fundraiser with lots of potential. We hope every parent takes advantage of this opportunity to raise money for their student.
