Love Your Legacy
A fundraising campaign by the alumni of the Fountain Valley High School Vocal Music Program for the program & its students!
Spring 2020 Fundraising Goal: $20,000
There are 3 ways to pay it forward through the Love Your Legacy campaign! We are asking that ALL of our esteemed alumni choose at least ONE, if not ALL THREE forms of loving their legacy! These are easy to do, and with ALL of our alumni participating,…the campaign will be highly successful in helping our Troubadours as they continue to represent the highest levels of performance in choral music, locally and throughout the world.
- Sponsor a Troubadour
- General Donations
- SCRIP & Amazon Smile
Sponsor a Troubadour
Directly sponsor a particular Troubadour by donating directly to a student’s account! We will pair you anonymously with a Troubadour in need of financial aid, and throughout the year you will receive correspondence and perks like concert tickets from your Troubadour. At the end of the year, we will hold a “reveal party (time/location/specifics TBD). It will be a special time of sharing as the Troubadour discovers which alumni helped make their experience happen throughout the school year! There they will have the opportunity to thank you personally.
We are asking that the amount you donate be a minimum of $100 to establish sponsorship. You are welcome to sponsor more than one Troubadour or contribute ($100 each) or attribute any excess to the sponsorship fund. There is no ceiling for your giving….and our students will be incredibly and humbly appreciative! See Troubadour Bios
General Donations
This form of giving is gifts of ANY size, at any time throughout the year. It can occur once, or as many times as you like. We request that the initial minimum gift is $50 for general donations. Again, as you are blessed (work bonuses, tax returns, lottery winnings,…haha) and want to share this with our Troubadours, you can always make a contribution. It makes a HUGE difference in bringing these experiences to life for our students.
Funds collected through General Contributions will be placed in a specific line item to give assistance to the overall program for Troubadours (not student-specific). Money that accumulates here will be used towards any hardship assistance for students (as determined by the Vocal Music Director and at the discretion of the VMPA Executive Board). Additionally, these funds will also go towards offsetting the overall expenses of featured performances opportunities, such as ACDA (American Choral Director Association) conferences, etc.
SCRIP & Amazon Smile
These funds raised are through percentages that are kicked back from merchants through your normal, routine, daily spending. Enrolled with the ShopwithScrip.com program, you will be able to use your smartphone or computer to set up the special VMPA – Alumni code which will kick-back percentages earned (money back) into the General Contributions fund mentioned above. We ask that our alumni commit to using the program (at least the Scrip portion) for the 10 months of the school year. We are asking our committed Lifeline alumni to choose at least FIVE (5) specific retailers or services that you will use on a monthly basis, for the 10 months. More information is attached on how to easily utilize the Scrip program and incorporate it into your lifestyle. Also included are sample accumulations of funds and some of the most popular, most generous (highest percentage) retailers and services.
