Elkins Band & Guard Family,

We’re on the final day of our fundraiser; we’ve raised $5,375 in profit toward our Band and Guard program goals! A big shoutout to our current top sellers for leading the way and showing such amazing effort; we have 64 students that have participated to date.  Let’s keep the momentum going through the finish line. Every bag sold makes a difference, and don’t forget, the fundraiser ends TODAY!

Treat yourself while supporting our amazing students! Join us at 16 Handles on April 24 from 5 PM to close for a sweet fundraiser benefiting the Elkins Band and Guard. Just mention our fundraiser or use the code GIVEBACK, and 20% of your purchase will go right back to our program—it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy some frozen yogurt with family and friends while making an impact. We can’t wait to see you there and make it a delicious success!
