Typically, cadet activities are not completely funded by the school or the Air Force. For this reason, cadets are often required to raise funds during the school year. Supervising parking at community events, yard sales, car washes, and the sale of approved items (e.g., discount pizza cards, chocolate bars, etc.) are some of the sources of income used by the Corps in recent years.
Other clubs at BHS charge fees and make fundraising mandatory. For sports, all students are charged the county participation/insurance fees. These costs can and do exceed $300 to $500. JROTC, by comparison, levies very few costs on cadets.
In order to successfully conduct Corps activities in SY 19/20, we will require a $25.00 Activity Fee from each cadet, payable by the end of the 1st Quarter. This fee will enable us to continue to provide outstanding programs and activities, like in-class projects, field trips, meals, nametags, a unit Polo Shirt, end-of-year Unit Picnic, Awards Ceremony, Military Ball, and other tangible JROTC benefits.

Next Fundraiser!
We will host a golf tournament in the late March / early April time frame. The course will likely be in the Del Webb Spruce Creek community, but details are TBD. We will be soliciting sponsors for holes, as well as prizes to be handed out to golfers. Finally, we will be asking for 4-person teams to sign up for the tournament. Stay tuned! |
