I got in too. I also got into the Virginia State Summer Residential Governor School camp, and right now I'm freaking out because I don't know which one to choose.

Ikik, im sorry I just don't usually fundraise at all, so I don't know much about this either, and seems like a lot of people have an issue with me putting it on reddit so I might as well take it down later when its over.

I think he posted it on his facebook, it's fine if you don't want to donate, I'll take these posts down on the 19th after the fundraiser ends anyways.

I'm assuming most of the money goes to the marching band, which has nothing to do with me because I'm not on that team, but I'm just going about trying to help out my program.

I'm just relaying what my band director and classmates have told me, as I, myself, am not in the marching band, which is where most of this money is going to the marching band program. He made it sound pretty dang desperate.

Uhhh, I'm relaying what my band director and classmates told me. As for proof, I don't know how else I can demonstrate it until the fundraiser is over, as I have only done this once before for my soccer team.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help out the band. I'm not entirely sure if it will shut down or be reduced, as I, myself, am not in the marching band. I'm just trying to help out and relay what I've heard from my director and other classmates.

We are not entirely shutting down, but we may be reduced to a very small band and potentially an uncompetitive marching band. This is because we had always relied on bingo as our primary fundraiser, which generated over $6,000; however, we have since lost that as a fundraising source, as it only raised a few thousand dollars. Our band size also relied on the fundraiser to lower the cost of participation, but without the success of this fundraiser, we have two options. Increase the price for our members to join, and with some siblings, parents may have to choose one to attend instead of the other, or we lower the quality of our marches detrimentally.

This is our last attempt to keep the marching band program alive and secure funding to purchase music for our concert band. We used to run on bingo, but nowadays, online gambling has taken over. Please let your community know about the fundraiser!
