The purpose of this fundraiser is to give families an opportunity to raise money for this year’s Disney Trip. The profits from this fundraiser can only be used towards this year’s trip. It is not an option to keep a “balance” for future trips. Profits that are not used towards this year’s trip will turn into a donation to the PRHS Band Program.
