Fundraisers

All high school band and choir students are able to participate in fundraising at any time to support trips, patriot band, supplies and other band/choir expenses. 

Because of the 2027 music tour to Greece, the boosters are trying to provide more opportunities for students to participate in fundraising. 

These fundraisers will apply to student’s Panther Points accounts.Panther Points can be used for music supplies, instrument rentals or travel opportunities.

Ongoing Fundraisers

These fundraising opportunities are available year-round or occur multiple times throughout the school year. Families can participate when it works best for them, with proceeds continuing to support our band and choir programs.

Raiseright Gift Cards

The RaiseRight Gift Card Fundraiser is an ongoing opportunity to earn funds for your student all year long—while shopping or dining as you normally would!

How it works:

  • Purchase gift cards at face value—use them for your regular shopping, dining, or travel.

  • Each participating brand donates a percentage (up to 20%, averaging 6%) of your purchase to your student’s Panther Points account.

  • These funds can be used toward music supplies, travel costs, and more!

  • There are frequent Bonus Days with even higher earning potential.

How to Join:

  1. Go to https://bit.ly/slpraiserightgiftcards and click “Get Started for Free.”

  2. When prompted, “Join a Program” using Enrollment Code 7ETKGM8D9AHV.

  3. Enter your first and last name and your student’s name.

  4. For “Group Name,” select either SLPHS Band or SLPHS Choir.

Important Notes:

  • Do not use “Ship to Coordinator” or “Pay Coordinator” options.

  • A $10.50 shipping fee will be applied to physical card orders.

  • Many cards can be sent as digital e-gifts or emailed directly to recipients for convenience.

This is a simple way to raise funds all year while supporting both your student and local businesses!

Achieving Dreams Fundraiser

This is an independent program—it is not organized or managed by the Music Boosters.


Achieving Dreams is a local organization that partners with major sports and concert venues to offer fundraising opportunities for individuals, families, and groups. Volunteers work concession stands or similar roles at events, and in return, earn funds that can go toward their student’s Panther Points account or other expenses.
