Jazz ‘n Cakes

We ask each band student to contribute $5-10 towards our raffle baskets. You can provide a gift card, cash or check and we’ve even provided a Venmo link you can use.

Donations can be brought to the band room anytime.

Donations will also be accepted at the band concerts on Monday & Tuesday.

If you have a basket, or any items that could be used towards a basket, those will also be accepted at the band concerts.

Can you, or your student(s) ask your employers for a donation? We are happy to provide a letter if requested. Please email pancake@lakotawestbands.org.

Thank you for helping to make our raffle basket fundraiser an incredible success!
