Ad-book Protocol:
1. PLEASE sell ads immediately — the band needs operating funds throughout the year, as the staff, band parents, etc. are working on the current show or already designing the next show!
2. Please turn all ads in AS SOON AS YOU GET THEM! All information required is on the form listed above or can be emailed to bunnelladbook@gmail.com.
3. All students SHOULD sell ads. This will be applied to trip costs and/or future your Student Fundraising Obligation! There will be additional fundraisers that students can access to satisfy their fundraising, but this is the biggest and fastest way to meet your goal. Other fundraisers will be announced in a forthcoming email. Any student NOT completing the Student Obligation using these fundraisers MUST satisfy the difference with their own personal funds.
4. All ads must be submitted before the deadline: October 10, 2024. No ads or payments will be accepted after this date.
5. Any person or business who purchases an ad will receive a tax deduction on their 2024 tax return, as the Band Parents are a 501c3 Not For Profit organization.
6. Please email the ad-book form to friends, relatives and business associates out of state as well.
Ad Book Tips
The Ad book is the BIGGEST fundraiser of the year…
Did you know that Ads can be from a person? Like a relative?
Think of the Ad-book like a Yearbook for the Band. Many relatives will purchase “Good Luck” ads for their Band Member — this way — they can get the potential Tax deduction.
Businesses aren’t the only place to sell your ads.
Ads can be from anywhere. Not just businesses in Stratford!
Here’s a sample letter that you can send to EVERYONE in your address book —just copy and paste and edit for your needs!
….you never know until you ask!!!
The day has arrived!
Please start selling your ads NOW!
