RaiseRight Fundraiser: Thanks to our 6 participants, the Band Boosters have already raised over $300 with RaiseRight! Can you imagine how much more we could raise with more participants? Since we haven’t had very much response or activity with our new fundraiser, we are going to hold a competition! The Band Boosters will give out 3 Amazon gift cards to the 3 families that have the most gift card purchases from now through April 28th. First place will win $75, second $50, and third $25!

The gift cards ordered through Raise Right have the exact same value as cash! Almost all major retailers are available, and most are available as e-cards that can be used immediately. You can order through the website RaiseRight.com or download the Raise Right app from the App Store, the app is very user friendly and convenient.  When creating an account please use our enrollment code NBQ8LEJIC3QX so that our PRHS Marching Pride earns funds. This is a fantastic fundraising opportunity for our program, that doesn’t require you to buy or sell products, but it won’t work without your participation. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

Marching Pride Sponsors: We’d like to thank our 2023-2024 Marching Pride Sponsors: First Foundation Bank, Architectural Wood Products, Volkswagen of Naples, Pro Water Systems of Southwest Florida, Hood Distribution, Dakota Hardwoods, the Freedline Family, JW Building Consultant Services, D. Garrett Construction, Goldie’s Restaurant, and Colossians Home Services. More information on our sponsors can be found on the homepage of the band website.
