MPO Fundraisers
MPO hosts individual student fundraising opportunities each semester. The fall semester involves personal selling of food items, and the spring semester features SnapRaise, an e-mail-based activity where musicians can share travel plans and request donations from family and friends. These are Warrior musicians' opportunities to save for band and choir trips, where profits from sales go into personal trip savings accounts. We appreciate all the faithful support from friends and family. Info for the next school year appears on this page as soon as it's available.
Occasionally, group events will take place that raise money that is applied to keep trip costs lower or go to pay for special events that the students enjoy while participating in musical events or trips without needing to charge additional costs to families.

SnapRaise fundraiser Spring 2022
SnapRaise fundraiser Spring 2022

LLHS summer band participants are encouraged to act immediately to take advantage of a new and different opportunity to ask for support in travel costs as they represent the Lord and LLHS on band trips!
- Snap Raise sets up a webpage for our group with links/QR codes so families/friends can easily access the page.
- Teens create an account by following these instructions. They add a photo and provide emails of family and friends who like the goal of the Warrior Band and who may be willing to support with an online monetary donation.
- Each teen's profit is separated behind the scenes so everyone gets to keep what they make (students get 80% of all donations to their page).
- The average donation received is $35/email
- The fundraiser runs for 28 days. Snap Raise sends one email/week to the emails teens provide. The emails provide a bio, links to the page, and QR codes to the page. There are also flyers teens can share at school, at work, church, etc. as well as info they can share on social media if they choose.
