Sponsorship Program
Explanation
Farmington High School Marching Band Sponsorship Program
Our goal is for each of our marching band students to find at least one person or business who would like to sponsor the band at the $250 level. Of course, it's always great if a sponsor would like to donate a larger amount. Please see our Sponsorship Program Levels located on our "Sponsorship Invitation" page or click on the button below. You'll see that we offer different benefits depending on the amount that a sponsor donates.
-
This is the fastest and easiest way to raise money for our band program
-
Every marching band student is expected to do their best to find one or more sponsors
-
Doctors, dentists, lawyers, realtors, mortgage brokers, and small businesses of every kind make great sponsors!
Can a sponsor give less than $250? Absolutely!
We're happy when anyone chooses to donate, no matter the amount. If you find someone who would like to donate less than $250 go ahead and follow the same steps as for larger donations. These steps are outlined below. Please understand that in order to receive benefits, a sponsor needs to donate at least $250.
Steps for getting a Sponsorship
Student Responsibilities
1. Decide who you are going to contact and enter their information into our online tracking form.
-
This is an extremely important step!
-
We need their information so we can track their donation and make sure the money gets back to the band. This will also help us make sure they receive their benefits.
-
It doesn’t matter if they say yes or no, you still need to enter their information. We don’t want more than one student accidentally contacting the same person.
-
This link will be sent via email to all students.
