Band Yard Sale
Saturday, October 8, 2011
7 AM to 1 PM
The Marauder Band is organizing a group yard sale to be held on Saturday, October 9th from 7 AM to 1 PM. This fund raising event is an excellent opportunity for you to get rid of some items in your garage and make a little cash for your 2011-2012 Fair Share donation. Annual Individual Student Goal is $140.
Families interested in participating would do the following:
- Arrive at the school by 6:15 AM with your yard sale items and your own personal tables to display your stuff.
- Have your items already priced for sale.
- Be prepared to man your booth for the duration of the event
- . Sell your own items and handle your cash
- . Be responsible for cleaning up your booth area by 1 PM.
What you make during this yard sale can then be used as a Fair Share donation. Big yard sales normally get a lot of customers, so the more families that get involved, the bigger crowd we will draw. MBPA will advertise the yard sale on Craigslist and also in the Porterville Recorder.

Fund raising is a key function to the success of the Marauder Band. These events keep funding flowing through the MBPA General Fund to help pay for operating expenses and equipment not covered in or through Mr. Adam’s school Budget. Our fund raisers would not be successful without volunteers and chair persons willing to donate their time and efforts. Learn more about the fund raising calendar, our running annual proceeds and how our money is spent.
