FUNDRAISING FAQ 

WHAT IS A “BENCHMARK”? 

Each Marching Band member is asked annually to individually raise a benchmark of $160 to help defray the Booster’s budgeted expenses for Marching Band during the school year.  Families are asked to fundraise or contribute this amount by the April Turn-In date. Students who meet their benchmark by April can attend the annual PIMB Banquet for free, where they will receive their awards. Any money in excess of the benchmark can get carried over to next year’s benchmark or applied to trip payments.*

*Trip payments do NOT count towards your child's benchmark. 

HOW DO I KNOW MY STUDENT’S ACCOUNT STATUS? 

Each month via email, you should receive a statement of your child’s individual account from the Treasurer. A balance owed means you have not met your yearly benchmark or trip payment. Contact PIMB Treasurer Jason Palsgrove at treasurer.pimb@gmail.com if you have any issues or questions regarding your child’s account.

HOW DO MONTHLY PRODUCT FUNDRAISERS WORK? 

Some of our fundraisers can be ordered online through the vendor's website and then delivered directly to your home. Other product fundraisers work on a 3-month basis... 

Month 1 “Roll-Out”: Pick up current fundraiser info at the table as you walk into the cafeteria for the booster meeting or check the website after the meeting. These products are sold over the next month... 

Month 2 “Turn-In”: Hand in the fundraiser’s order form and full payment to one of the Receipts volunteers in the cafeteria during Turn-In. (Please have your purchasers write their check to you or pay you with cash/Venmo, then you write a single check to PIMB or pay via Venmo for all the purchases combined. This helps to limit the amount of checks processed; we do not accept checks from non-Booster members or multiple checks for the same fundraiser). 

Month 3 “Pick-Up”: The products will typically be available for pickup at the following month’s meeting.

HOW DO I GET FUNDRAISING MATERIALS? 

You can pick up the fundraising sales kits/brochures on the table as you walk into the cafeteria during Turn-Ins/Booster Meetings. Most fundraising order forms are available above on the fundraising web page or may be sent out in the weekly Eblast. Most fundraisers have the option to order online.
