Fundraising

Fundraising events benefit your student band account and/or the booster account. The boosters cover 1/2 to 2/3 of all band costs, it is very important to support booster fundraisers as they lower your fees. 

Each year, required fundraisers for students and families: Music Day, Winter at West, Jazz Festival, and coming for the 2024-2025 year, a Marching Festival and a Winterguard competition.  These are large events that require many hands and result in a large amount of funds supporting the band/guard program. All booster funds are spent directly on supplies, materials, and professional staff directly related to the West Salem band program.

RaiseRight

We have partnered with Raise Right fundraising for an ongoing simple individual account fundraising option!  Raise Right is like the old Script gift card program that many of us parents are familiar with from years past, but Raise Right is all digital! (you can choose physical gift cards shipped to you if you choose)  Raise Right is a way to purchase digital gift cards for everyday purchases (or to give as gifts) and earn a percentage back to your student's band account!

This flyer has a brief overview of the program, but downloading the app and using this invitation code below is the best way to get started!  There are tutorials online, etc!  The funds will transfer to the band bank account and our treasurer will distribute them to your student account.
