The Mt. Lebanon Band Builders sponsors a wide variety of fundraisers throughout the year to support the program. Students and their families who participate in the gift card fundraisers can earn fundraising credit to help offset their expenses for trips, or to use for band related expenses (e.g., uniform accessories, annual band fee, music lessons). Fundraising credits are stored in an account for each student who participates and MLBB will each participating student's account. Student balances can be viewed in Charms in the Finances section.
Fundraisers are summarized below. See below for details and contact information. Many fundraisers are available year-round, but some have deadlines. See the calendar for fundraisers that have specific deadlines.
