💸 UpTempo Fundraiser

Kickoff Event Success

Thank you to all of our students and families that have reached out into the community to help kickstart our campaign! We have raised $26,773.00 as of right now out of our overall goal of $40,000+ That's an amazing start to this campaign!

Some things that we are fundraising for specifically:

Small equipment trailer for our gigging groups and small community outreach performances. This is to help eliminate the multiple truck rentals that we have each year outside of football games and marching contests.
New speaker and electronic equipment that we use in various capacities for rehearsals year-round
Expanding our prop inventory to include new/different stage pieces, backdrop frames, etc.

How You Can Help

From here, the fundraiser functions entirely online. The absolute best thing that you could do now to help us continue raising funds is to share our posts on social media. Please consider sharing our Facebook and Instagram posts on your own accounts in order to help us reach out further into our communities. You'll find the link to our campaign website in our page bios and we will be making posts regularly until the campaign ends on 8/25.
