2008 - 2009 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. There were programs started in 2007 where we are using a re-loadable Frys Grocery Card to purchase groceries with the potential of significant dollars based on our purchases.

Another 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
