Every student who collects the $125 minimum donation goal will receive one entry into a drawing to win a full refund of their 2015/2016 school marching band fees. For every $25 in additional donations, you will receive an additional ticket in the drawing. As an example, collect $250 in pledges and receive 6 entries into the drawing.
