Dear Band Parents,

Hello!

As you know, we are still in the middle of our campaign to replace our eleven-year-old uniforms. We are SO grateful to you, our students, and The PRIDE Music Association for all of your hard work thus far!! We have made our initial deposit have the uniforms are being constructed at this very moment!!

We still need help though. We have until August to raise the remaining amount of approximately $15,000. Attached to this email is an information packet detailing how individuals or businesses can make donations towards our uniform campaign. All donations are TAX-DEDUCTIBLE, and all donors will receive a receipt. There are varying levels of sponsorship, but every donor will receive recognition on our website.

*Please note, this is NOT the Snap campaign we ran in December and we do not want to put any undue pressure or you or our students. If you participated in our previous donation drive please do not send this information to those same people again.

However, if you know of any individuals, business or institutions who might be interested in making a tax-deductible donation, please send them this packet.

As always, thank you for all you do to support "The PRIDE"!

Cordially Yours,

Mr. Weaver & Ms. Palmer
