Our semi and trailers are in desperate need of new wraps! The current semi wrap was put on in the Fall of 2016. The wraps on the trailers have been in use even longer! After years of travel all over the country and many summers of the hot Nevada sun, it is time to replace the wraps. We plan to wrap both the semi and the two trailers with matching wraps. What a convoy that will make on the road!

The Falcon Band Boosters are looking to our community to help us pay for this essential upgrade. We are asking for donations from families, friends, and our community. This semi and these trailers are seen and noticed wherever our group travels. They are often the first impression the public has of our group.

In addition to making a personal donation, consider asking employers and businesses if they'd like to donate. They are often interested in the tax write off.

We are also able to offer ad space on the semi for large donations. Send a DM or comment for more information on ad space.

Here's how to donate:
Check payable to Falcon Band Boosters, mailed to Falcon Band Boosters, PO Box 91951, Henderson NV 89009 or given to Lisa Austin at FHS (enter "New Semi Wrap Fund" in memo)

PayPal link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/falconbandboostersnv (enter "New Semi Wrap Fund" in the comment.

Falcon Band Boosters is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible. Any money received for the new semi and trailer wraps will be a gift to the program for this project.
