Our Platinum Sponsor, Mattress Lux of Kennesaw, has partnered with us for a fundraiser THIS SUNDAY, September 3rd at their store on 41 and Jiles Rd (in the Publix plaza).

Mattress Lux has offered to open their showroom from 1-5pm specially for us and will donate a portion of all sales during that time to the band! There will also be a “Wolfpack Bundle” worth up to $400 for everyone who purchases a mattress. The bundle can be used toward sheets, pillows and select accessories in the store.

The difference between this mattress fundraiser and the one we’ve done in the past is that with Mattress Lux, you are shopping a local business who will be there after the sale if you have any trouble. Matt & Gabe are passionate about teaching you how to find the right mattress for you…even if it’s not one of theirs. Please come check them out on Sunday and support our sponsor!

All you have to do is help us spread the word about this event. Please post on your social media, or like and share the post from the Band’s social media accounts. If you’re in the area, stop by and learn about what mattress types will give you the LUX feeling and a rested night sleep in a low pressure sales environment.

Labor Day weekend typically offers great prices on mattresses and lots of people shop for them during this time. Please help us advertise this because you never know who might be looking! THANK YOU!!!

We are working on a fundraiser that will be strictly for this trip to help with financing the cost. In addition, we have our Sponsorship fundraiser running now that you can use toward the trip. If you get one or two large sponsorships that could pay for the trip. Please utilize this fundraising resource. You can find more details on that and other fundraisers here.

Please reach out to us with any questions. We are looking forward to a fun trip with our amazing band students!

The North Paulding High School Band and Marching Band operate financially on a combination of both fundraising and band dues. For the 2023 Marching Band Season, our budget for the year is $199,400; band dues only cover $82,000, or 41%, of this overall budget.

The actual cost of the band is close to $1,900 per student. Instead of charging $1,900 per student, the band relies HEAVILY on ALL families participating in fundraisers.

The Executive Board and the Directors have spoken with many of the families regarding fundraising options and have found that most families DO NOT want to sell more candy bars, sheets, flowers, and other items.

In 2022, we decided to implement our Sponsorship Drive and we are doing it again this year after seeing its success. But we need EVERY FAMILY to help. We have set our budget for $10,000 in sponsorships for this season. This goal is not just a wish. This is directly tied to our marching band props budget for the 2023 season.

We are asking each student to get $100 in sponsorships.

How it works: The first $50 in sponsorships you raise goes to the band’s general fund and qualifies your student to attend Rock-a-Thon. After the first $50 raised, we split any additional money raised 50/50 between the band’s general fund and your student’s band account.

We have many sponsorship opportunities ranging from $50 to $1,000. We also have the option for Family and Friends to donate. 50% of ALL sponsorships and donations (after the initial $50 Rock-a-thon fundraising minimum) are credited back to the student account.

If you know a business owner that is looking to reach the families of Paulding County this is a great opportunity.

If you are a business owner yourself, you can help support the band with a sponsorship level and pay a portion or even all of your student’s band dues by sponsoring.

The benefits vary by sponsorship level, but ALL sponsors will be listed in both the 8.5″ x 5.5″ Sponsor Directory (distributed in October to all 100+ band families and all North Paulding High School Administration) and the NEW Friday Night Lights Program (sold at every home game this season).

So, what businesses would benefit from sponsoring the band? All businesses would benefit! Here is just a small idea of what kinds of businesses you can ask to sponsor the band:

Accountants, air conditioning service, antiques, architecture, art teachers, artists, assisted living facilities, attorneys, automotive shops, bakeries, banks, bankers, beauty salons, carpet, carpet cleaners, churches, coffee shops, computer stores, contractors, doctors, dentists, electricians, financial advisors, florists, groomers, health clubs, house cleaners, insurance agents, jewelry stores, lawn care, loan officers, mortgage brokers, music stores, nail salons, pet stores, pharmacies, plumbers, real estate agents, retail stores, tanning salons, tire stores, tree companies, veterinarians, weight loss clinics. The list can go on and on.

We thank you in advance for your help with this very important fundraiser! The necessary documents can be found below and are also on the North Paulding Band website’s Fundraisers page.
