Our Fundraisers

Manna Fundraiser - Great way to raise $$$ for student accounts

Manna is a gift card fundraising program by which the participating PHS fine arts families receive a 'rebate' back for their purchases. These rebates can then be used to pay for various fine arts expenses. See below for the EZ steps to follow in order to become a manna participant:

1. Review 'Manna 411' to better understand the manna program and its policies.
2. Pay the yearly $25 participation 'fee' (via PBB or PCB dues, or donation to PHS Fine Arts Endowment Fund).
3. Contact the Manna Co-Chairs, Lucie Kreidler & Jan Scott, and request login info.
4. Check out http://www.mannagroup.net/ to see the available gift card denominations.
5. Log on to http://www.mannaorders.net/ (our school code is 390)
6. Using the online ordering instructions, place your first order and submit payment/order printout copy by the 1st of each month (NOTE: ALL CHECKS MUST BE MADE OUT TO PROSPECT CHORAL BOOSTERS -- NO CASH ACCEPTED)
7. Pick-up your order on the 2nd Tuesday of the month -- per confirming email from manna co-chairs.

Accounting questions or want to make a fine arts payment using your manna funds? Contact Theresa Accurso, PCB Treasurer, TQAccurso@wowway.com. Manna questions? Contact Lucie - luciekreidler@comcast.net or Jan - william.scott1@comcast.net

Did You Know...

Many companies - and almost all large ones - have matching gift programs.  While each has its own rules, they all pretty much will match an employee's donation to a charitable institution.  Please remember this when you or a friend makes a donation to the Band. It's a painless way to get more money for our fundraisers.  Usually, all it takes is a call to the company.  If there are forms or letters to be sent, we can do that. Contact the treasurer for assistance or for more information.

Prospect School Jackets

The Band Boosters receives a rebate from each PHS Student Jacket purchased at Waist Up Sportswear.  They are conveniently located at 416 S. Vermont Street in Palatine. Please call them at 847-963-1400 for more information.  Spread the word to all the students and parents.

Magazine Subscriptions

Want an easy way to earn money for band by doing something you already do? Renew your subscriptions online and get 40% for your band account, AND save up to 80% on newsstand prices.

Of course you can also buy new subscriptions. Makes an easy holiday, graduation or birthday gift, involves no trip to the store or wrapping, and it arrives throughout the year. If you work for an office that orders magazines, this is an outstanding fundraiser for you! You can even order the Wall Street Journal--they carry many many titles--be sure to search all that they offer. In fact, QSP goes beyond magazines and sells music and other items--all backed by the Readers Digest company.

Here's how:

1) You, or anyone you know, can order magazines or renew existing subscriptions using the website at www.qsp.com. Click on parent or student to begin--it doesn't matter which.

2) Click “Just Shopping” & enter Prospect Band's online code: 425068988 (this code can also be found by just entering "Prospect" in the search box to make it easier for friends).

3) You don't have to collect any money or do any paperwork! When checking out, whoever is placing the order uses a credit card. Be sure to enter the student name for the person's account you wish to be credited.

If someone else is buying to benefit your kids, make certain they remember this step. Once per quarter, our treasurer will receive a check, and the money will be added to your student account balance. Any questions, call Betsy Khamdiev, 847-255-1155 or you can also ask QSP's customer service 800-678-2673 with any questions.
