Simple Fundraising Opportunities!

RESTAURANT NIGHTS - Occasionally the band boosters arrange restaurant fundraisers. A local restaurant will arrange a period of time where a portion of sales will be donated back to the Band Boosters. Usually, a flier is needed to be brought with you. See the booster emails and the website calendar for dates and fliers.

KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS program is easy, just enroll with your Kroger Rewards card and a percentage of your normal purchases go to the band. If you don't already have an online account, create one and enter your Kroger Card number. Then click Kroger Community Rewards under the Savings & Rewards tab. Use the NOP# TY146 when you get to the enrollment screen. Then leave it to Kroger to donate quarterly.

AMAZON SMILE is another way for LCN Band to get credit for your normal shopping. Just log in to amazon by using the special link and shop as normal. You will need to register and select L'Anse Creuse North Band Boosters as the organization.
