School Fundraising

School Band Fundraising in Anne Arundel County, MD

School band programs across Anne Arundel County — marching band, concert band, jazz band, percussion ensembles — are among the most organized parent-volunteer groups in any school. Band boosters at Severna Park, Broadneck, Annapolis, South River, Crofton, Old Mill, and other AACPS high schools coordinate uniforms, instrument rentals, competition travel, and post-game logistics for dozens of students every weekend. Local Deals Fundraising fits perfectly into that culture. Launch at a band booster meeting. Every band member gets a personal seller page to share with family, friends, and the broader band community. Supporters buy the Local Deals app, get 90+ Anne Arundel County coupons, and the band program keeps the proceeds. Run it once a year or twice — marching season in the fall and concert/competition season in the spring. It replaces fruit sales, popcorn drives, and car wash marathons with a campaign that runs from a phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can marching band and concert band fundraise together?

Yes. A single band booster campaign can fund all the school's band programs at once.

How does this compare to selling fruit, popcorn, or candy?

No product to distribute or store. No door-to-door selling. No money to count. It is run entirely from phones.

Can band boosters run this as their primary annual fundraiser?

Yes. Many band booster clubs use Local Deals as their main campaign and add a smaller event-based one alongside.

Does the band director need to be heavily involved?

No. Boosters can run the entire campaign. The director simply endorses it at a rehearsal.

Is Local Deals Fundraising really free for schools?

Yes. There is zero upfront cost, no minimums, and no contracts. Your school or organization only earns — we never collect a fee from you.
