Mission Statement:
The Astoria Band Boosters (ABB)
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization dedicated to the
educational and musical goals of
the Astoria School District bands
through its work with the students
and directors, and to provide
volunteer and financial support for
those participating in the band
program.
Vision/Goals:
FUNDRAISING EVENTS
The Astoria Band Boosters conduct several fundraising events
throughout the year, most notably the monthly Bottle and Can
Recycling drive which takes place the first Sunday of each month at the
Astoria High School from 1:00-3:00 PM. All community members are
encouraged to save their redeemable plastic and glass bottles and
aluminum cans to bring to the school on the first Sundays. The band
members sort and bag the items for redemption while earning credits
to cover their personal fees and costs of band activities.
Another activity, which is currently taking place, is our annual raffle.
This year’s prize is a high-end GoPro® Hero 4 Black edition Camera, a
$500 retail value. Tickets can be purchased for just $10 from your local
band member.
The ABB also conducts an annual 4th of July fireworks sale outside the
Fred Meyer store in Warrenton and our “I’m With the Band” sponsor
program.
You don’t have to have a student in the band in order to help. To find
out more about volunteering, or to arrange for a sponsorship, or
donation, please contact us.
