March-a-Thon 2023: Update & Final Week

• Please ask your workplaces about matching donations - this will help massively.
• March-a-Thon ends after BOA Austin! If you like what you saw and heard from the Grizzly Band at our show on Thursday, continue to ask for support!
• We will be announcing Top Sections, Top Team, and Top Earning Students at the end of the fundraiser!
• Since last week, the Grizzly Band has raised more than SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS! Thank you so much for all of your support! Let's finish this week with a strong final push!
• We issued one more challenge to the kids last week... If the full band can raise an additional $6k before the end of the fundraised (and break $60k), the band directors will all learn a segment of the show and play/march it for the kids!
