How Do We Make This Happen?
The Bonita Vista Vocal Music Foundation (originally called “The Music Machine Boosters”) was originally founded in 1983, and is still going strong today! This family and community-based organization was established to provide the necessary financial and personnel support to maintain the quality and competitiveness of the Bonita Vista Vocal Music Department, beyond what is provided by the Sweetwater Union High School District. No student has ever been denied participation in these our program due to inability to pay, and the Foundation works to ensure that enrichment opportunities are available to all students. General fundraising is our main source of income, and all proceeds from group fundraisers benefit all students in the choirs.
Several large events and fundraisers are held throughout the year to support and complete our program budget for the school year. The success of these fundraisers is entirely dependent upon the voluntary participation of our families, as well as donations of goods and time. Other fundraising opportunities include performance donations by local organizations, sale fundraisers, show ticket and concessions sales, grants, community donations, and parent/family monetary donations. We are always on the lookout for grant and corporate sponsorship opportunities. If you have any connections, please send them our way!
