Music Scholarship Fund Created

With the downturn in the economy in recent years, the DMB implemented two programs to help our families raise funds to offset the cost to participate in our music programs:  (1) Kroger Community Rewards and (2) Scrip.  Both programs have been a huge success for both our families and the DMB:  from May 2010 to April 2011, over $18,000.00 was raised!!

The DMB is now launching a scholarship fund for each high school using these two programs.  This is a scholarship fund to be used for current students with financial needs.  This is not a college-bound student scholarship fund. The scholarship funds will be run just like the Kroger and Scrip fundraisers are presently run, only instead of requesting that your own student receive the funds you earn, you will request that they go into the scholarship fund for your high school.  The funds for each scholarship will stay at the school you designate them to.
