How can we connect with local community businesses?  Share Your Connections.

     

We are so excited about the great support we are receiving from the Pleasanton community.  We are asking for band families' support to help us connect with even more members of the community to support our financial needs.  Joe Foos and Ellen McGraw have put together a sponsorship program and are eager, willing, and able to meet with community businesses.  Will you share your connections?  Does your company have an initiative to support community activities? Maybe you know band alumni who would be interested in sponsorships? Or you might know of local businesses that would benefit by promoting their services to the band community.   Sponsorships are available from $500-$2500.  We have an exciting opportunity available for the upcoming Friends & Family show.
