Did you know that you can support the Milford Public School Band Boosters, just by purchasing your groceries? The boosters rely heavily on fundraising to offset the cost of marching band, drum line, winter guard, and jazz band.
|
|
Milford Band Boosters are part of the Kroger Community Rewards program! Kroger Community Rewards makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day....at no cost to you! Once you link your Kroger Plus card to Milford Band Boosters, all you have to do is shop at Kroger and swipe your Plus Card! This program brought over $3,000 to our organization last year.
