JBBC Fundraising
The Jefferson Band Booster Club offers two types of fundraising: General Fundraising and Escrow (Individual) Fundraising (see more below).
JBBC Escrow (Individual) Fundraising
The Jefferson Band Booster Club offers escrow fundraising opportunities throughout the year. All funds earned from a fundraiser for an individual band or flag member are paid into that student’s escrow account. Membership in JBBC is required for students to use individual escrow funds for their own benefit (click here for JBBC Membership information). All escrow accounts are managed and account balances are updated monthly, if not more frequently. Funds in the escrow accounts can be used to make trip payments, pay for uniform and/or instrument rental fees, or any other “music” related fees. Escrow funds typically take 1-2 months to appear in a student’s account. Questions regarding a student’s escrow account should be directed to the band office at 952-806-7759.
Escrow fund transfers can now be requested online. Click the button below to request a fund transfer.
Escrow fundraisers happen at various time throughout the year. When active, you’ll find further details on this page. Here is a quick overview of available fundraisers and a general schedule of when they occur:
- My Fundraising Place (Kittelson Frozen Foods) is an online sale consisting of Bella Napoli Frozen Pizza, Butter Braid® Braided Pastry, and Wooden Spoon® Cookie Dough. Sales typically occur in the fall and spring, and students earn 40% of the selling price.
- Gertens Winter Greenery & Poinsettia Fundraiser generally begins in October with plant pickup in November. The sale is online only, and students will earn 30% for any plant sale, 15% for gift cards.
- Papa Johns Nifty 50 Discount Cards happen occasionally, especially when families are fundraising for band trips. Each gift card is $15, with students earing $10 for each card sold. Gift cards are good for 50% off 18 online menu-priced pizza orders, and are good at all participating Papa Johns in the Twin Cities and areas of Florida.
- Gertens Spring Flower & Plant Sale generally begins in February with plant pickup in early May. The sale is online only, and students will earn 30% for any plant sale, 15% for gift cards.
- World’s Finest Chocolate cases are typically sold during years that the marching band travels. Families pre-purchase a box for $60. Each case costs $36 and earnings of $24 will be applied toward the student’s escrow account.

The Jefferson Band Booster Club has several General Fundraisers which support the operating budget of the booster club and many extra opportunities for our band students.
We have General Fundraisers with our Dining for Dollars Program, Bandcake Breakfast, United Way, and some companies will donate to an organization where you volunteer.
