Coronado Dons Band Boosters

Dec. 2006 – Dec. 2007

The Coronado Dons’ Band Boosters were incorporated as a non-profit organization in September 1983. The Band Boosters is a group of involved parents and interested community members who are committed to enhancing the band experience for the students and promoting an awareness of the value of music and the arts in the education process and who want to ensure the best possible Fine Arts program and specifically a top notch Band program developed and maintained at Coronado High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. To this end the Booster organization has supported the band program by raising funds to supplement the district funding targeted for the Fine Arts at Coronado. Money raised by the Band Boosters helps pay for entrance fees for competitions, busses and trucks to transport students and their equipment to and from competitions and away performances, purchase of music and drills for the marching show, purchase and repair of instruments as needed, salaries for auxiliary and supplemental staff, assistance with tuition for students and instructors to participate in developmental training, and other needs as they arise. Coronado High School draws students from a diverse area of Scottsdale with a wide range of ethnic and economic backgrounds.

Arizona State Tax Credit

Did you know that the Arizona State Tax Credit can help you pay for a large portion of your band activities? For example, SUSD has ruled that 100% of Band Camp can be paid for with Tax Credit money. And you don’t have to be the only one taking advantage of the tax credit. Print out several copies of the Tax Credit form from the band website and take it to your friends, neighbors, or relatives (not necessarily in that order). They can contribute the maximum based on their tax status and designate your Band student or the Band program as the recipient. Then when filing the Arizona State Income Tax for 2008, the money comes back as a direct credit to the amount of taxes owed. It’s simple, it’s painless, and everyone can feel a little better about paying their income tax.

Tax Credit Pledge sheet

Don't wait until it is too late. Make your 2008 tax credit donation now. Donations must be made by 12/31/2008 to apply towards the 2008 tax year.

Fund Raising Opportunities:

A Simple Fund Raiser

HOW DOES IT WORK?
A Simple Fundraiser is funded through the generous support of some of the finest resorts in Phoenix. In lieu of spending marketing dollars on TV and radio, participating resorts allocate advertising dollars in support of youth and community organizations throughout SW Arizona. As an alternative to cookie dough and car washes, individuals and/or couples attend a sales presentation at select participating resorts. For each qualified tour, your organization receives $100. It is that simple.
