Band banquets & awards nights
End the band year
with a celebration.
Bring students, families, and booster club members together to celebrate their hard work, the friendships they’ve made, and everything they’ve learned. It can be as simple as pizza and a few thank-yous. If you charge for tickets, SimpleRaise helps you collect payments.

Keep it simple.
An awards night can be a pizza party.
Your celebration doesn’t have to be fancy. Order pizza, hand out awards, and let the kids celebrate together.
Charge $5 or $10 per person to help cover some of the cost. We’ll help you get ticket sales set up so you can focus on celebrating your students.

Before you send the invitations.
Does this have to be a fundraiser?
Your goal can simply be covering the celebration’s costs. Set your budget and ticket price around the event you want to host.
What if fewer people attend?
Base your price on a conservative attendance estimate. Set a purchase deadline before committing to catering or other final costs.
What should we tell families?
Explain who needs a ticket, what it includes, when sales close, and your cancellation policy. Make those details clear before they buy.
Bring everyone together.
