Band Fundraising That Goes Beyond Candy and Citrus

Music programs need three things from a fundraiser: reliability (the money has to come through before the competition trip), community (it builds spirit around the program), and something that reminds the community that the band exists year-round — not just at halftime.

The Fundraising Math

A 75-member marching band, one fall campaign. 100 tumblers at $30 to students, parents and alumni. The program keeps $9.00 each — $900 toward the regional trip. Alumni are the reason band campaigns outperform: the link travels further than a paper order form ever did.

Your organization keeps a flat 30% of the price on every product, from the first order — there is no tier to unlock and nothing to buy up front. Model your own campaign.

Buying up front instead? An organization that can front the cash, pick sizes and colors blind, and hand out the boxes itself can beat 30% at volume — that is a bulk order, not a campaign store, and it cannot carry a different name on each item.

How It Works

1
Set up your store
Share your artwork, team colors, and product choices with The Lasercraft Co. (TLC). We build a simple product page for your campaign.
2
Set your price and goal
Pick the products for your store. Prices are already set, and your organization keeps 30% of every one. Set a goal and a close date.
3
Share the link
Send your campaign link to parents, alumni, and your community. TLC handles all payments at checkout.
4
We produce and ship
When the campaign closes, TLC produces every order. Standard production is 5–7 business days. We ship direct to each supporter's address.
5
You get paid
One week after the last order ships, your 30% is paid by direct deposit. No inventory, no cash handling, no leftover product, no minimum to clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we include our band logo and mascot on the tumbler?

Yes. Send your artwork files and we handle the rest. Vector files (SVG, AI, EPS) produce the cleanest engravings. If you only have a PNG or JPG, send it and our team will assess it — most high-res raster files work fine for laser engraving.

How do we handle orders from alumni who are far away?

Because TLC ships direct to each supporter's address, geography is not an issue. Alumni in other states order online and receive the tumbler at home. This is one of the advantages over a traditional fundraiser that requires physical pick-up.

Can students earn extra credit or awards for top sellers?

That's entirely up to the band director — TLC will give you a real-time view of order counts by supporter so you can track who shared most aggressively. Some programs run a "top 3 sellers get free merch" incentive alongside the main campaign.

What is the largest fundraiser you have run for a band program?

We have supported campaigns from 20-unit runs for a chamber ensemble to 200+ unit marching band campaigns. The rate is identical either way — 200 tumblers at $30 is $1,800 to the program. Bigger programs raise more because they have more families and more alumni, not because they unlock a better rate.
