ON-GOING FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES

Restaurant and Event Fundraisers

Supporting MCB

Madison Central Band Boosters receives a percentage of all purchases made during these special events. Watch for announcements on social media.

Concessions

Supporting MCB

One of the band’s primary fundraisers is working concessions at Eastern Kentucky University’s football and basketball games.  The band has contracted with the university for many years and has established a reputation of excellence.  Students who are sixteen as well as  band parents and grandparents come together at these events to sell popcorn, drinks and food.  Madison Central’s band is large, so working the concession stand is an easy way to get to know fellow band members and parents outside of your section.

Levy’s

Supporting MCB

One of the most exciting, and financially rewarding, fundraisers in which the band participates annually is working at the Kentucky Oaks and Derby!  Every year, our students, aged sixteen and older, and our parent volunteers head to Louisville to carve meat and act as food runners inside Churchill Downs during the most exciting race in all of sports.  Dressed in chef hats and white jackets, our boosters and students serve the folks attending the Derby and the Oaks on Millionaire’s Row.  It is so much fun, not to mention a way for the band to make significant progress towards our fundraising efforts!
