Ask for Volunteers

Cleveland High School Bands would not be the outstanding program it is without the financial support we receive from our community. A large part of that support comes in the form of sponsorships from local businesses. Each year thousands of dollars of band expenses are paid by money we receive these sponsors.

Friends of Cleveland Bands currently does not have a member managing sponsorships. This could lead to a significant hole in our band budget for this year.

We are asking for volunteers to help with the tasks that the sponsorship chairperson normally manages. Each task is relatively small and we hope some of you could take on one or two tasks to help keep sponsors a source of funding for our bands.

Please look at this Sign Up Genius page to see if you can help us.
