Student Power

Another in the fundraising annals of the Student Tuba section at Cary High.  I was not able to attend this car wash as we were busy moving our office, but one of the three student Tuba organizers was able to attend and quite ably "marshaled the troops".

My son Stephen was able to update the Heart of Cary Association (HoCA) with a flier as shown to the right on Thursday morning which might have helped....  An important factor this week was the announcement by Band President, Bob Murray, via the Cary Band e-mail lists of the fundraiser.  (Advertising to those most sensitive to your cause is very important.)

The new wrinkle for the car wash was a bake sale.  The end result was impressive:

• Car Wash - $463
• Bake Sale - $40
• Total for the morning = $503

One moral of the story is that car washes "make money" and bake sales "do not"...

The better moral of the story is that motivated students can make a huge difference!!!

My running total is:

• Student fundraising - $1,605
• Sponsorships - $1,225
• Total = $2,830

The last car washes are July 28 and 29, and then the students will be busy with their 2 week long band camp (8am - 9pm at Cary High in the parking lot in the summer heat...) and then school and marching season.  These students are on their way to great things so please help them to reach their goal.
