Post date: Oct 3, 2014 2:19:49 PM

On Saturday, November 15 the BHS Marching Hawks Band Parent Organization will be hosting its 2014 Fill the House for the Mouse bowling fundraiser. SAVE THE DATE! Festivities kick off at 7 pm at Wheaton Bowl on Gary Ave., in Wheaton.

This is a fun-filled evening for parents, grandparents, relatives and adult friends (21 & over) of BHS Band students to gather, eat and bowl for the benefit of Disney Trip during Spring Break 2016. There are also several raffles held throughout the evening.

Information packets will be distributed to the students later next week during band class, but in the interest of time, we wanted to give you all advanced notice, some event highlights and the opportunity to get started on Lane Sponsorships and Bowling Registration.

Tickets for Bowlers (incl. dinner, dessert, door prizes, 3 games & shoe rental) will be $35 per person. A meal-only ticket is also available for $22, but those are limited in number. We want to fill all 30 lanes reserved for our group so have your student start spreading the word and taking reservations.

Raffle prizes are a vital for the success of the Mickey Tickey Raffle, as well as the Grand Raffle. New items to fill gift baskets, such as gift cards, spa services, movie passes, wine or liquor, golf balls, dinner packages, sporting equipment or paraphernalia, holiday or themed decor ( for Thanksgiving or later), other items that would draw raffle participants to drop their tickets into the bucket for drawing.

The Grand Raffle is a monetary giveaway ($500 1st prize), as well as 2nd and 3rd prizes. Previous gifts included larger ticket items such as microwaves, popup tents, golf merchandise and autographed sports paraphernalia. we DEFINITELY need things like this for our event to spark sales of Grand Raffle tickets.

Lane Sponsors are $50 per sponsor. This can be a business or individual/group of individuals and offers an advertising opportunity for a low cost.

Bowler Registration, Raffle Prize Donation and Lane Sponsor forms can be obtained immediately by sending a request to the FTH Chairperson - Eileen Szubert - eileenszubert@hotmail.com. The 2014 forms will be made available on the Band Parent Organization website in the near future and hard copies will also be distributed with the Grand Raffle Ticket booklet next week.

Grand Raffle tickets are priced at $5 each or 5 for $20 and come in booklets of 10 tickets. All BHS Band students are required to sell at least $10 worth of these tickets as the first $10 of the initial booklet is allocated toward the $500 1st Place prize.

Thanks for your time and let's FILL THE HOUSE FOR THE MOUSE on Saturday, November 15th!!
