Coffee Fundraiser for Student Accounts

HRHS Orchestra Families,

Students will be provided order forms in class for a Coffee sale that is designed to complement our Butter Braid sales (Who doesn't like coffee with their Butter Braids?)  Like the Butter Braids, the coffee order forms need to be turned in with payment by November 9th.  The coffee should arrive no later than the Butter Braids so that the students can deliver them together to anyone who orders both.  Each bag of coffee is sold for $12, with $5 going into the student's fundraising account for each bag sold.  If you need to print out additional Coffee order forms, they can be accessed at this link.

Tumbler Fundraiser for Student Accounts

HRHS Orchestra Families,

Students have been provided order forms that can be used for ordering both the Sports Team/College tumblers and the HRHS Orchestra custom tumblers.  All local sales are to be made using these order forms and students will be responsible for collecting funds and delivering the product.  Family members, Friends, etc, who are located out of the area may place their purchases for the Sports Team/College tumblers on-line.  Refer to the on-line ordering instructions below.  Your student's name will need to be supplied with the order to get credit for these sales.

Whether ordered via the paper form or on-line, tumblers are purchased for $20 each.  Of that amount, $8 per tumbler goes into your student's fundraising account.

Life is Like a Box of Chocolates ...

HRHS Orchestra Families,

The Booster Club has purchased boxes of chocolate bars for one of this year's fundraising opportunities.  This fundraiser will work as follows:

  • Purchase a box of 60 chocolate bars for $60 (cash or check made out to HRHS Orchestra), $30 will be immediately added to your student's fundraising account
  • Sell the chocolate bars for $1 each and re-coup your $60 investment
  • Purchase another box for $60 and repeat as many times as you like while supplies last, $30 out of each $60 purchase goes into your student's account

If you sell each chocolate bar for $1, you will break even and your student will earn $30 in fundraising money for each box.

You will have an opportunity to buy a chocolate bar to sample for yourself at Wednesday's concert, at which time you can also purchase one or more boxes to join this fundraiser and immediately put money into your student's account.  If you are interested in taking advantage of this fundraiser, please bring $60 cash or a check for $60 made out to HRHS Orchestra to Wednesday's concert, we will have boxes available to purchase on the spot and take home with you.

See you there!

Fundraising Update

Orchestra Families,

Thanks to everyone who participated in our SNAP Fundraiser!  We've met a significant amount of our goal, but are still a few thousand dollars short.  This fundraiser is still open for the next 6 days so there is still time for you to let potential donors know about it and provide them with this link to the site.  Checkout the site to see who has donated!

HRHS Orchestra 2016 Snap! Fundraising Site

A note to those who have recently acquired or are considering acquiring a King Soopers refillable gift card, this is one of the easiest ways to collect funds directly into your student's account that can be used for your $100 fee and other orchestra expenses.  You can fill your card prior to purchasing groceries or gas either at the customer service counter or at the checkout stand just prior to making your purchase.  For additional information on direct fundraising for your student please visit the Fundraising tab on the HRHS Orchestras website.
