If you’ve donated money or volunteer hours to the Clear Springs Charger Band program this year, THANK YOU!  But don’t stop there…why not let those hours and dollars work a little harder by looking into whether your company offers matching donations and volunteer grant programs?

Your volunteer hours (tracked by the booster club) are already much appreciated by the students, directors, and parents, but if your company offers volunteer grant opportunities, those hours can also translate into significant fundraising dollars for the band.  Last year, matching donations and volunteer grants provided hundreds of dollars in supplemental income for the band.

Many companies offer these opportunities. Follow the links below for some examples of past programs that have benefited the Charger Band.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Charger Band!

Looking for an easy ways to give back to the band just by shopping? See below.  These merchants give money directly to the band when you make purchases, so no money comes out of your pocket.

These programs continue throughout the year. Use them anytime you shop.

The first is the Amazon Associates program. Basically, if you are going to buy anything from Amazon you can raise money for the band by accessing Amazon through our link instead of going directly to amazon.com. Just click on the big orange Amazon box on the right side of this website. When you do this Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase amount to the band.

In the most recent donation from Amazon, we raised $850 for the band by our supporters accessing Amazon through our link. That’s a lot of back to school shopping! Imagine how much we can raise if everyone does their holiday shopping using our link.

The next program is the Kroger Community Rewards Program.  If you enroll your Kroger Plus card in the program and use it when you check out, Kroger will donate a percentage of your purchase amount to the band. Easy!

In the most recent donation from Kroger, we were able to raise almost $400 for the band just because our families are shopping at Kroger and having their Kroger Plus card connected to the Charger Band.  If everyone participates, we can easily reach our goal of $2000 this year!!!

If you have been enrolled in the Kroger community Rewards program in previous years, please take a moment to re-enroll. Everyone must re-enroll every year. The year end for the program is August 30. If you have not re-enrolled already, you are not currently contributing to the band program. You should have received an email from Kroger that allows for a simple one click re-enrollment.

If this is new to you, please consider enrolling – it’s easy money. Kroger Community Rewards® makes supporting the Clear Springs Charger Band students super easy.  All you have to do is shop at Kroger and swipe your Kroger Plus Card and Kroger will donate a percentage of your receipt to the band at no cost to you. First, you need to enroll your Kroger Plus Card in the community rewards program by following the instructions below.

1. Visit Kroger Community Rewards
