Fundraising with Winter Park Band
Our band program is funded at 10% by the county and the balance is met by family Fair Share, fundraising and business sponsorships. Fundraisers help keep Fair Share as low as possible and help pay for equipment, instruments, instrument repair, expert clinicians, competition fees, food and much more. Participating in the fundraisers can easily cover the cost of Fair Share for most band members.
Our 4 annual fundraisers:
1. Sponsorships and Student Dedications: Starts at Mini Band Camp in May and runs through late August. Members earn 45% of sponsorships and 60% of dedications as fundraising credit.
2. Widdy Up Video Email Fundraiser: Starts late August. 50% of each participating student's profits goes directly back into their band account. The other 50% goes into the general band fund to cover expenses.
3. Lucky Goat Coffee Fundraiser: Starts mid October. 100% of each participating student's profits goes directly back into their band account as fundraising credit.
4. Door-2-Door: The only required fundraiser for all band members & Guard members. This is a one-day event on a Saturday in late January or early February. Both members and participating parent drivers/volunteers receive a portion of the day's proceeds into their student's band account as fundraising credit.
See information on each fundraiser below.
Detailed information about all fundraisers will be sent out through the newsletters and Cut Time messaging.
Action to take with fundrasing credit: Once fundraising credit is added to your student's account, email both the treasurers and directors to request the funds be applied to a specific charge on your student's account. This will not be done automatically and is especially important for Senior families to do early in Senior year. Credit not used cannot be cashed out once a student leaves the program. Please refer to the Band Handbook for details.

What is Widdy Up and how do I get started?
Widdy Up is a fun, email based fundraising platform where members can make short videos to safely share with friends and family asking for donations. This is strictly a donation-based fundraiser and there is no product offered, other than a Thank You video for donors.
The percentage payout from Widdy Up is 80% for the first $15 k raised, 85% of $15-30K and 90% for everything above $30K . With almost 200 members in the band and guard, meeting a $30,000 goal is achievable.
50% of profits earned by each student goes into their band account as fundraising credit. The other 50% of profit goes to the general band fund for expenses.
Widdy Up does not share, sell or rent your student's contact or any contacts shared on the platform by your student. Once the fundraiser ends, the contacts are not used further by Widdy Up.

LUCKY GOAT COFFEE FUNDRAISER
Dates: October 14-28,2026
What is Lucky Goat Coffee fundraiser and how do I get started?
Lucky Goat coffee is fast becoming a favorite boutique brand and makes great gifts for the holiday season, birthdays or anytime. Members will make an InstaRaise account they can personalize and add emails, just like in Widdy Up. When the fundraiser kicks off, emails will go out to your customer list with a fundraiser pitch to let your customers know why you are fundraising and an order page for the coffee.
Although the fundraiser is online only (no paper orders or cash collection are accepted), If you have customers that don't want to or are unable to use the links or QR code to place the order online, you can still collect cash yourself, then place the order through your own account and hand deliver to your customers.
Who do we sell coffee to? Friends and family, of course, but you can also offer the coffee to businesses that provide a coffee bar for the employees and special customers. Lucky Goat coffee can also be offered to businesses and organizations that give special gifts to favored customers, clients and donors (thnk non-profits). It also makes a great addition to gift baskets, so think ahead for the holidays or upcoming birthdays or celebrations!
What are we selling? Customers can purchase 10oz. bags of ground coffee and 10 count boxes of single serve pods. There are 7 customer favorite flavors to choose from.
How do customers get the coffee? Customers will be able to choose to have the coffee delivered to the school for student delivery or to ship to home. Ship to home cost is paid by the buyer. Note that the coffee is not shipped when the customer places the order, but after our fundraiser ends around mid-November. Coffee not shipped to home will be delivered directly to our school before Thanksgiving break and distributed to the members. The date will be announced when we know our delivery date. It is then the student's/parent responsibility to pick up the coffee orders and distribute to the buyers.
How to get started:
1. Use this link to create an account.
2. Once registered, the student will receive a link to their own personal fundraising page. Update the personal page with a photo and personalized message telling why you're fundraising and what band means to you. This step makes a big difference in customer engagement. Families and friends can share the student's personal fundraising page link with anyone, including businesses.
Look out for more information in the newsletters and Cut Time messages.

Members collect cash or check and offer a QR code for electronic donations. Parents are encouraged to advertise the event in local neighborhood apps, newsletters and bulletin boards to increase awareness.

Parent drivers: information about how to sign up as a parent driver will be sent out in the newsletters and a Cut Time message beginning in November, so be on the lookout for details from our Volunteer Coordinator.
