Opportunities to Support An Evening of Jazz
We are excited for An Evening of Jazz on Friday, February 6th, a signature event showcasing our talented jazz students. This evening also serves as an important fundraising opportunity, and we are reaching out to our generous band community for support. There are several ways you can help:
1. Become a Dessert Sponsor
We are seeking donors to help fund the dessert offerings served at the event. Any monetary donation is appreciated or if you know any business owners that may be interested in supporting our musicians, all sponsors will be acknowledged that evening.
To donate, please contact Teresa Hes at hesteresa@gmail.com.
2. Donate Items for the Silent Auction
Do you own or work for a business that can offer a product or service? Items may stand alone or be paired with others to create themed baskets. We will happily set your business cards by the item.
Examples include:
· Salon services (haircut, color, manicure, massage)
· Auto services (oil change, tire rotation)
· Restaurant gift certificates
· Artwork, personal training, pet services, mobile car detailing
· Any talent or service you can provide!
3. Create a Themed Basket
If you don’t own a business, you can still contribute by assembling a themed basket. Some ideas:
· Pet Basket – treats, toys, grooming items
· Bookworm – books, socks, snacks
· Taco Tuesday – salsa, chips, themed items
· Spa Day – face masks, scrubs, bath bombs
· Coffee Lovers – beans, mugs, French press
Hobby or fandom themes (gardening, scrapbooking, Star Wars, Taylor Swift), game night, puzzles, chocolate lovers, and more!
4. Support the Student Basket Competition
Each music class will design and create a basket for the silent auction. This teaches students about community involvement and fundraising—and the class whose basket raises the most wins bragging rights!
If you are able to donate an item or basket, please contact Kate Melody at katemelody98@gmail.com to coordinate drop‑off or pick‑up.
5. Participate the Night Of
If donating isn’t possible, you can still support the program by purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets and bidding on silent auction items at the event.
6. Lend a Hand Behind the Scenes
Join our crew by signing up on the SignUpGenius to help with event set up and/or tear down. Your help is greatly appreciated. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F054EADAC2CA4F49-61679458-2026#/
