ZBB Fundraising

Band fees only cover 50% of the total cost of our programs. The other 50% comes from sponsorships, fundraisers, and other donations. We offer two types of fundraisers: one type supports all band programs and the other type allows you to earn money for your student’s account.

Fundraisers that support the whole band:

  • Corporate Sponsorships: Sponsorships are available at Platinum ($2,000), Gold ($1,000), Silver ($500), and Bronze ($250). Benefits vary at different levels.

  • Partnership with Mears Automotive: Mears Automotive has locations in Brownsburg and Carmel. For any band family that takes their car to get serviced, 10% is donated back to the band.

  • Power Hour & Product Sales: In August, we host a Power Hour where the students work together to ask family and friends for donations. We pair this with our fall product sales. For example, in 2023 we sold car flags and stadium blankets.

  • Mattress Sale: Every November, we hold a mattress sale where the entire community can come and purchase new mattresses. A portion of every sale gets donated to the band.

  • Dine to Donate: Monthly, we host Dine to Donate opportunities at local restaurants. An average of 20% of sales are donated back to the band. Typically these events are on Wednesday nights. Find these events on the band calendar.

 Fundraisers that contribute to individual student accounts:

  • Crew Car Wash Sales: Carwashes are sold every fall for $11 each and are usable at any Crew Carwash in Indiana. For every carwash coupon sold, $5 goes into your student’s account.

  • ButterBraids: These tasty treats are sold in October (typically after fall break) and delivered in time for Thanksgiving. For every delicious ButterBraid sold, $5 goes into your student’s account.

  • RaiseRight: This is an online program where you can purchase online and physical gift cards for purchases you make every day, like gas, groceries, restaurants, coffee, and more! A portion of every sale is deposited into your student account. Instructions for how to join RaiseRight.

  • Mattress Sale: Every November, we hold a mattress sale where the entire community can come and purchase new mattresses. For any mattress sold with your student’s name listed as the beneficiary, $25 is deposited into your student’s account.
