2010 - 2011 DBPA Fundraising

Fundraising is an important function of the DBPA. We help provide for some of the things that aren't easily budgeted by the band program. Every year we provide funds to the program to get things like new mouthpieces, special percussion equipment, musical instruments, and other items necessary to support the program.

Just using the money received from DBPA donations is not enough - we need to do other things to make as much as we can. .

A very exciting opportunity is getting the local business community involved in our programs. We're showing them the kind of talent that exists at Dobson and the different opportunities they have to support our programs. Please make sure to check out all of the sponsors on our Sponsors Page and when the opportunity arises, please consider them highly to meet your needs.

The money we raise this year is the money we can provide next year. Here are a few easy ways to get our community and ourselves involved to support the program

Dobson Sponsorship

The DBPA Sponsorship Program is a plan that enables members of the community to invest in their local high school band program. The Dobson Bands perform a minimum of twenty performances each year in the surrounding area, with venue attendance of up to 8,000 people. After twenty-plus years of successful performances, the time has come for some of the instruments and support equipment to be retired and replaced with new equipment. With the community’s support, we can continue to revitalize the program and ensure our future students enjoy a positive band experience. Your contribution to our Sponsorship Program will help Dobson Bands to continue providing an award winning music program.

Please consider supporting your Dobson High Band program by making a tax-deductible contribution.

Fry’s Food & Drug/ Marketplace “Cool Cash” Program

Starting dates for the 2010-2011 program have not been determined yet - This program usually starts in September

Pick up bar code from a fundraiser committee member (or print a copy here) and have the Frys cashier scan the barcode and your Frys card with your next purchase. When you link your Frys card with this barcode you will automatically start giving the band program credit for your purchases every time you use your card. Fry’s will rebate DBPA $500 for every $50,000 in purchases up to a total $2000.00.

If you buy groceries at Frys this is a no-brainer way for you and your friends to support the Dobson Band. If you participated last year you will need to re-link up for upcoming season. (does not carry over from last year).
