Overview
Maintaining
a superior high school music program such as the RamBand requires commitment
from students, educators, parents, and boosters. It also requires the
financial support of generous sponsors. For these reasons, we ask for the
assistance of local businesses in ensuring the
future of the band programs
at Central Dauphin High School by becoming RamBand sponsors.
We’re pleased to announce an exciting program for local businesses: sponsorship of the Central Dauphin RamBand. Sponsors can choose to donate on seven different levels ranging from $50 as a “Friend” to $2,500 as “Platinum Sponsor” of the band. Click here for an overview of the Sponsorship levels.
The program's also exciting for students as they are eligible for up to 30% of each sponsorship for their student accounts!
Besides the pure, warm glow, attained by the knowledge that one is patron of
the arts (a time-honored music tradition-- if it's good enough for Mozart,
it's good enough for us), RamBand Sponsors will enjoy more tangible,
practical
benefits, too, including the band booster loyalty, recognition on
this website in the Band-a-RAMa, Indoor-RAMa, and Legends of Music Concert programs,
Golf-a-RAMa hole sponsorship, as well as
documentation that sponsors can display at their place of business.
Instead of asking businesses to contribute several times over the course of a year, we will be asking the business to contribute only once under this corporate sponsorship program.
Everybody Wins:
-
Band families get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves reaching out to local businesses they already patronize or which, at least, are already familiar with the "product" we're marketing (the RamBand or more generally the high school music programs). And, as explained in more detail below, the commission on booster sponsorships will provide a significant benefit to your Student Ledger.
-
The Boosters get a regular source of revenue.
-
Local businesses get recognition among a local and loyal customer base-- us!
