Throughout the year, CPMC will organize and manage fundraiser events in order to earn the money needed to support the Red Raider Marching Band and indoor drumline and colorguard programs.  Some fundraisers are organized with the intent that the profits that you earn are set aside in a “student account” to offset individual student expenses that parents are responsible for  that may arise during the year such as the $65 membership fee, extra t-shirts, sweatshirts, and the band banquet.  Other fundraisers or events are organized to benefit the general funds of the CPMC which directly support the marching band and indoor programs such as instructor salaries, dry cleaning uniforms, maintenance of Big and Little Red, etc.

If you participate in any of the fundraisers shown below, the proceeds of your sales/participation will be allocated to you:

Student Account funds may not be requested to be withdrawn by a student or family member for personal use.

What happens to the account at the end of the school year—June 2010?
If you are an underclassman and will be participating in the 2010-2011 marching band season, the funds in your account remain in your account. 

If you are not going to participate in the 2010-2011 marching band season the funds in your account are returned to the general funds of the CPMC.

What happens if I graduate in June 2010 and there is still money in my student account?
If you have a brother or sister who will participate in the band starting September 2010, the money in your account may be transferred to your sibling.  You must put this request in writing to the CPMC Treasurer before you graduate if you have funds available to transfer to an incoming or currently participating sibling. 

So, if you will graduate in June 2010, and you have money in your student account, and you have a brother or sister who will be participating in the band for the 2010-2011 season, and you want that money transferred to them—you must write a letter to the CPMC treasurer before June 30, 2010.

If you do not have a brother or sister who will participate in the band starting the September following your graduation, the money in the student account returns to the general funds of CPMC.

What happens if I quit band after participating in a fundraiser that benefitted my student account?
If you quit after participating in a fundraiser that benefitted your student account the funds will first be used to pay any outstanding obligations you may have, and then any remaining will be returned to CPMC general funds.

The rules above are set to comply with IRS regulations regarding non-profit organizations.
