The Cook County High School Band has teamed up with Sven and Ole’s to host a pizza fundraiser Monday April 11, 2016 from 5:30 – 8 p.m. at Sven and Ole’s Pizza. Sven and Ole’s will be providing the great food (pizza, salad, dessert and drink) and the band kids will be providing the elbow grease to wait on tables, bus dishes, etc.
The cost for dinner ranges from $3 for children under 7 years; $7 for kids between 7 and 12 years; and $12 for anyone 12 or older. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the band trip to Cleveland, Ohio in May 2016.
“I am impressed with all the time and energy the kids have put into raising money for the trip,” said Kerri Bilben, Cook County band teacher. “All their effort will be worth it for the great trip we have planned. One of the exciting things we’ll do in Cleveland is play a concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” said Bilben.
The Cook County band has been working diligently for almost two years now to raise the funds needed for their trip to Cleveland. Their past fundraisers have included donkey basketball, car washes, silent auctions, bake sales, selling wreaths and holiday band CDs, and helping out at Fisherman’s Picnic.
