Fundraisers
We have several fundraisers occurring. We hope that you will find that any or all of these fundraisers meet your spending needs for this time of year. We also hope that you will encourage your students to participate. In addition to providing proceeds to student accounts that can be used towards covering the cost of the spring trip, the fruit and tree/wreath sales provide much needed funding for the entire band program.

SELL FRUIT!

This is our last weekend for selling fruit. The fruit sale is traditionally our biggest fundraiser of the year and we are currently at an all time low for fruit sales.

Tree/Wreath Sale
As you start preparing for the Christmas holiday this weekend, order your NC fraser fir tree and wreaths from our band fundraiser. Trees and wreaths will be delivered on December 10th. This fundraiser provides 30% of the proceeds to the band with a portion of those proceeds going to individual student accounts. Please share the information below with your e-mail contacts.
 

  1. Go to tree sale site
  2. Click on “Buy a Tree”.
  3. You can enter the name of the student that you would like credited for the Tree or Wreath sale. Students will earn a percentage of the profits into their individual accounts. Once you have entered the field on this page, click on “send”
  4. Continue to “Buy a Tree or Wreath”
  5. Pick up your Tree and Wreath at CE Jordan High School on Saturday, December 10th.  It will be wrapped and ready to go.
  6. All Trees have a “you’ll be happy guarantee”. Quality is guaranteed with a money back guarantee.

The Band wishes you a joyous holiday season!!!

Barnes & Noble Fundraiser
We have partnered with Barnes & Noble Booksellers for a unique fundraiser that will benefit our school bands.
Tuesday, December 6th is our kick-off shopping day at Barnes & Noble, Southpoint and a percentage of your purchases will come back to the Band Boosters to help us support the band programs at CE Jordan.

We hope you will share vouchers with friends and family. Shop at Barnes & Noble, Southpoint anytime on December 6th from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm and the band boosters will benefit. Please feel free to copy this voucher and distribute as many places as possible (i.e. family, church, neighbors and co-workers). You may also e-mail the voucher to friends and family anywhere. The voucher will be accepted at all Barnes & Noble locations and online, but we hope you will join our celebration at Southpoint.

Purchases with the vouchers will be accepted until Sunday, December 11th in all the stores and online if you can't join us on Tuesday, December 6th. Please support us in this fundraising endeavor. Barnes & Noble offers books, music, DVDs, educational toys and games, gift product and so much more. We will receive credit for all purchases including consumables in the café and NOOK e-Readers!
