Fundraising
The Music Foundation sponsors many fundraisers throughout the school year which can benefit your Student Account, the Music Foundation, or both. Fundraising, Family Patron donations and Business Patron donations are three of the major sources of income for the Music Foundation.
We encourage you to participate in fundraisers to help offset various expenses (e.g. spring trip, concert attire), as well as to help the Music Foundation, which provides music, instruments, transportation, awards and much more for the MRHS Music Department.
For 2024-2025, we are offering four fundraisers for students to raise money. The proceeds of these sales are credited directly to individual student accounts which are managed in the CUT TIME system.
World’s Finest Chocolates – NOW & ongoing through the school year. Students earn $18 per box of chocolate sold. See your Music Director after class to check out a box of chocolate bars and start earning money for Spring Trip.
Business Patron Incentive Program – NOW & ongoing through the school year. Students earn 10% of all Business Patron proceeds that you (or family members) solicit. Ask your orthodontist, or dentist or favorite coffee shop to support MRHS Music with a donation! Just print a few business patron forms and letters from the Music Foundation website - https://www.mrhsmusic.net/patron-program_1. Then fill in your contact information on the form and hand it out to local businesses when you shop. Help the Music Foundation gain important community financial support while you earn money for music expenses.
Charleston Wrap – NOW through November 20th. Students earn 30% of all sales in this online fundraiser. Simply register at https://www.registercw.com/ using organization code 22548. Send emails and texts to family and friends inviting them to support your fundraising efforts by purchasing gifts, kitchen items, gourmet chocolates, and more. All purchases are shipped directly to the customer by Charleston Wrap prior to the holidays.
Mattress Sale Referral Fee – November 16th sale. Invite family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to shop for mattresses, sheets, bedding and other accessories at the Marriotts Ridge Mattress Sale. Student referrals earn $25 for the first two items sold, and $50 for additional items.
