Fundraising: Unit
NMUPA also fundraises through 50/50s, the Super 50/50 (new this year), Applebee's Pancake Breakfasts, and the Trenton Devils Hockey Game (also new this year), at which the unit will be playing the National Anthem, as well as the Calendar Raffle and other events. Along with merchandise sales, money raised through these activities helps to buy new equipment, pay for the unit banquet, and fund scholarships. These activities are announced on our home page and the fundraising and calendar pages as they're scheduled.
Fundraising: Student Trips
Each year NMUPA offers the students several opportunities to obtain trip credits to help defer the cost of the Marching Unit trip to Disney or New York. The students obtain trip credits through fundraising efforts. All fundraising is voluntary, but the more you and your student sell, the more credits your student will receive. Information about this year's fundraisers is on our fundraising page.
To help with the fundraisers, please contact:
Tracy Doerrer, NMUPAfundR@hotmail.com
Inkjet and Toner Cartridge Collection
The marching unit collects used inkjet and toner cartridges and receives money from their recycling and reuse while helping the environment.
Marching Unit Banquet
