Corporate Sponsors / Ad Sales

Corporate Sponsors / Ad sales is a very important component to MHS CHOIR BOOSTERS’ fundraising. There are four levels of corporate sponsorship:

Forte sponsorship at $400 pays for a full page ad.
Mezzoforte sponsorship at $225 pays for a half page ad. Mezzopiano sponsorship at $125 pays for a quarter page ad. Pianissimo sponsorship at $75 pays for a business card size ad.

All ads are printed in all Concert programs and in the Winterfest programs. If you know of possible businesses or persons that may be interested in being a sponsor, please inform our Corporate Sponsors / Ad Sales co-chairs. (See Committee Chairs)

Words of Encouragement

For $10.00 parents, family members and/or friends can submit a message of encouragement, appreciation, and/or thanks to anyone involved with the MHS Choirs. These messages are then printed in all programs throughout the year, along with the Winterfest program.

Questions regarding Words of Encouragement, please see co-vice presidents. You can also download the Words of Encouragement form here.

Winterfest

Winterfest is one of the largest fund raisers done by MHS CHOIR BOOSTERS. Profits from this fundraiser benefit ALL MHS CHOIRS. It’s a Show Choir competition, traditionally held the first Saturday in February. Performances are held in the Memorial auditorium. In the past there have been as many as 25 different Show Choirs competing in two different categories, A or B, depending on the size of the school.

The help of parents from ALL MHS choirs is needed in order for it to be successful.

Questions regarding Winterfest, please see Committee Chairs.

Mega Card

One of the simplest ways you can help add to our funds is to get a Mega card. Simply go to the service desk at any of Eau Claire’s Mega stores and ask for a Mega card application form. There are two types of cards, the basic Mega card which is free and the Preferred Mega card which will cost you $10.00. The Preferred Mega Card will give you discounts on movie tickets, gas at the Mega station and food. Let them know you want a charity Mega card for Friends of Memorial High School Booster. Our code number is 243810. You will be helping expand our funds simply by grocery shopping.

Questions regarding the Mega Card, please see one of the co-presidents.

Pops Concert

The Pops Concert is traditionally held in Owen Park. All choirs, plus various solo and ensemble groups entertain. The students, particularly the seniors, organize this event. The fundraiser for the Boosters comes through the tailgate party held before the concert and a pie and ice cream social during the concert. Pies and sodas are donated by choir parents; other items such as brats, buns, chips, condiments…. are purchased and sold by Boosters for profit.

Questions regarding the Pops Concert, please see Committee Chairs.

Madrigal Tudor Dinner

The Tudor Dinner is usually scheduled the second Sunday in December. It is a Renaissance-style dinner with entertainment provided by the Madrigals.

Questions regarding the Tudor Dinner, please see Committee Chairs.

Flower Sales

Flowers are pre-sold (hanging baskets, patio plants, etc.) in the spring and are then picked up at the Flower Farm on Hwy 93 on a designated evening. This event takes place just before Mother’s Day since flowers make such a nice gift for Mom.

Questions regarding flower sales, please see Committee Chairs.

Old Abe Pie Sale

To help assist with the cost of building props or other show choir expenses, Old Abe parents sell Main Street Café pies at the International Fall Festival held in downtown Eau Claire in September. The help of all Old Abe parents is needed to work the stand throughout the day.
