Plainfield Bands Craft Show - October 28-30 at PHS-CC

Band Craft Show / Fundraiser Help Needed!

What is the Craft Show?  Each year, the Plainfield High School Band Booster Organizations coordinate a community craft show featuring crafters from all over the area.  Profits are made from registration fees, admission fees, on site food sales, and from a bake sale.  The craft show is our largest fundraiser, and we need as much help as possible to make it successful.

What type of help is needed?
1. Volunteers - We need student AND parent help.  Jobs may include helping crafters move equipment, manning the parking lot, etc.  Student sign ups are posted in the band room.  Parents can sign up online by clicking here.

2. Bake Sale Donations - We need donations of bakery items for the bake sale.  You can drop off items at PSHS on Friday, 10/28, from 5-7pm in the band room OR DIRECTLY TO PLAINFIELD CENTRAL anytime Saturday, 10/29, between 5am and 4pm or Sunday, 10/30 between 7am and noon.  Sunday morning donations are very welcome to "repopulate" the Bake Sale tables!
If you can help with the bake sale, click here for more information regarding what items to bring and how to package.

This is one of the few fundraisers where we are only asking for your time and not asking for money.  So, if you have been looking for an opportunity like this, please consider getting involved.

If you have questions, please contact craft show coordinator Kim Leyva at ksleyva6@comcast.net

Concessions Volunteers Needed


Dear all,

We are in need of parent volunteers to help with Concession Sales at Freshman Football games and Boys Basketball Games this year. 
Attached you will find a roster of Boys Basketball games and a roster of Freshmen Football games that the PSHS Band Boosters have been offered to work the concession stand.  If we  work the concession stand on these dates we get a set amount of donation to the PSHS Band Boosters.  This is a wonderful opportunity to raise funds for our band.
As you will notice for the Football games, 6 volunteers are needed.  We must have at least 3 adults. Students may help and may receive credit for community service hours.
For each Football game worked, the Band Boosters will receive $100.00.
You will notice for each Boys Basketball game we must have 2 adult volunteers. Students may sign up as well with a parent or guardian, or may speak to their band director.  For each Basketball game worked, the Band Boosters will receive a minimum or $50.00.
This is a wonderful fundraiser for our organization.  Please review the links above to see the dates and times.  If you are able to commit to a date, please email Kim Leyva (ksleyva6@comcast.net) with your name and the date you are able to volunteer.
Thank you for supporting the PSHS Band Boosters!
