Fair Share Contributions for March are now due. Contributions continue to be low. We have travel and other year-end events coming quickly. It's more important than ever that we have contributions coming in. Please reach out to Trina Weatherly with any questions you have about your Fair Share or for fundraising options that are available to you currently to help with your Fair Share. Thank you to all who are current on Fair Share and to all who have made recent contributions, it is appreciated!

Amazon Smile
Did you know that you can earn donations for The Warhawk Band just by shopping on Amazon? Yes, earn money for our band program for something that many of us already do! Please register for Amazon Smile and use the Smile portal for your Amazon purchases. Amazon will donate a portion of all eligible purchases directly to our band program. Anyone can register, you don't have to be a band booster or affiliated with our program. Ask your friends and family to register, or if they already participate, to consider designating us as one of the non-profits they donate to. Instructions are attached. Contact Trina Weatherly if you have any questions.
