10 on the 10th Fundraiser

Sat, 22 Aug 2015 19:24:42 GMT

“10 on the 10th” is a way for you to give back without causing a lot of strain on your wallets. Each month on the 10th, we are asking that you come to this page and donate $10 to the Association. The funds will go towards support of the FAMU Bands and its students. We can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year with your support.

Q: How can you give through this program?
A:

Through Paypal – Give to us on a monthly basis (or as the mood hits you), or have $10 deducted from your account every month.
Your banking institution – As you pay your bills every month, take a minute to set up a “bill” with the Association. Use the Account “10on10th” as the account number to make sure it gets applied to the correct account. Make your check payable to: Marching 100 Alumni Band Association PO Box 7133 Tallahassee, FL 32314-7133. We will send your tax-deductible receipt by the end of January of each year.
Check/money order – Feel free to write us a check or money order if you feel more comfortable doing so. We will send your tax-deductible receipt by the end of January of each year.

Q: Do I have to give every month, or can I just give you the whole $120 for a year?
A: Whatever works for you. The students are most important, and giving to them to help their educational experience at FAMU is what’s most important!

Recurring donation:$10 per month

One time donation: $120 for a year

One time donation: $10
