The money the Band Boosters raise supplements Red Clay Consolidated School District funds. The Band Boosters provide financial aid to the Alexis I. duPont Band to purchase and repair instruments, uniforms and other equipment. As well as providing financial aid and fundrasing opportunities to band students. These fundraisers include:
- Chrysanthemum Sale: The Chrysanthemum sale starts in the late summer. It is one of the first opportunities the students have to fundraise for the trips that will occur during the upcoming school year. Proceeds from the student’s sales will help lower the cost of their trip.
- Claire’s Gourmet Fundrasier: The band boosters coordinate this fundraiser to help the sudents pay down their trips through selling baked goods and pizza through Claire’s Gourmet. This is the second fundraiser the students can choose to participate in.
- Participation in the Horsey Youth Foundation Raffle: The boosters, in cooperation with Horsey Youth Foundation, sell raffle tickets for the chance to win a fully-restored ’68 Camaro or the possibility to win over $10,000 in cash prizes.
- Poinsettia Sale: The Band Boosters take part in organizing the sales of Poinsettia’s and wreaths in the late fall. Proceeds from these sales help lower the individual travel cost for students involved in the AI Bands.
- Gift Wrapping: The Band Boosters coordinate gift wrapping at Concord Mall in the holiday season. Proceeds from the gift wrapping are used for general band uses.
- Spring Flower Sale: The band boosters coordinate the sale of Spring Flowers with band students in the early spring. Proceeds from this fundraiser will help students defray the individual cost of band trips.
