Hollencrest Middle School Music Fundraiser Is Underway!
Hello Parents and Students,
The Hollencrest Music Department’s annual Cherrydale catalog fundraiser is starting tomorrow. The goal for our fund raisers is to help provide the most complete musical and educational experience possible for our Music students. Many of our performance and educational opportunities are only possible with these fundraisers.
Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 for essential programs not currently funded through traditional means.
To get started, please follow the registration steps below:
- Register as soon as possible at www.ShopFund.com. An envelope with detailed instructions (and catalogs) is included.
- Share custom support links with family & friends via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Email, Text and more.
- Set a Student Goal of 10 Online Supporters. (Remember – we’re not just “selling stuff.: We’re asking families, friends and community to “help our program!”)
REGISTER-SHARE-WIN: Sharing gets you tickets for chances to win over $100,000 in instant prizes.
