Welcome to the
Auburn Band Boosters Association!
Our ABBA is a 501C3 non-profit organization that supports the band programs from East Samford, Auburn Junior High and Auburn High School! ABPA is made up of parents, family and friends who work together by volunteering their time and energy to support our students and band directors throughout the year. We help by raising funds and supporting our directors - chaperoning trips, working in the concession stand, donating food and so much more. Because of our efforts, ACS bands have some of the lowest band fees in the State of Alabama!
Volunteering is a great way to meet other band parents, make friends and show our kids and directors how much we value all their hard work and dedication. We have a board of committed parents who help organize these efforts and look forward to meeting and working with you.
Our biggest fundraiser each year is the concession stand at all AHS home football games. We strongly encourage a representative of each ACS band member to volunteer for at least one home game in concessions. While this is our biggest money maker, there are many additional ways to contribute - serving on one of our organizing committees, cooking a homemade item for our annual dessert café, securing a sponsorship, or helping as a parent resource for students during a camp or event. We hope to clearly communicate these opportunities so all are able to support our incredible band programs!
My goals as the new ABBA president this year are:
-
Improve communication and cohesion among our band families.
-
Increase participation in our volunteer opportunities.
-
Fill all open positions on the board and committees of the ABPA.
-
Convey to everyone that ABBA is a booster organization.
-
Celebrate our band students and directors and all their accomplishments, achievements and accolades, however big or small
I hope each of you considers how you can support these goals by volunteering for some of the many opportunities this year. I am looking forward to meeting and working with each and every one of you to help make this year the most fun and successful yet!
Sincerely,
Kim Mancuso
Auburn Band Boosters Association President
