Year-End Charitable Giving

Year-End Charitable Giving

Give the gift of music this holiday season. When deciding year-end giving, please consider a donation to the BMMA. Since 1970, the BMMA has supported the Music Program at Blackstone Millville Regional Schools. 100% of your donations go directly towards expenses related to competitive after-school activities including large instrument purchases, financial assistance for students in need, and supporting production costs.

If you are planning on making a donation, please also check to see if your employer offers a matching gift program that could double your contribution.

To make a donation, please visit our donation page to find the various ways you can give:

Donate to the Blackstone-Millville Music Association

Thank you so much for your generosity and support!

The BMMA is a registered 501(c)(3) charity and all donations are tax deductible.

Holiday Shopping With Amazon Smile

Holiday Shopping With Amazon Smile

Good Afternoon!

We wanted to remind everyone that the Blackstone-Millville Music Association (BMMA) is a registered charitable organization with Amazon Smile. Amazon Smile is a super easy way to support the band program by simply making the same Amazon purchases that you normally would. You buy and Amazon sends us a donation.

You can always shop with Amazon Smile by visiting smile.amazon.com any time you need to make a Amazon purchase. It’s the same site as the main Amazon site. It just means that when you purchase, a percentage of the purchase amount goes to the BMMA to support the band program.

In addition, Amazon Smile is now fully supported on the Amazon Shopping app on iPhone and Android.

Setting it up is easy! Just visit this site for directions: https://smile.amazon.com/b/ref=sma_se_smaf_llm_lm?_encoding=UTF8&node=15576745011

Thank you for considering Amazon Smile as a way to help the BMMA support the band program this holiday season!

General Meeting on Tuesday, December 14th

Happy Sunday Afternoon —

A quick reminder that our December General Meeting for BMMA will be held on Tuesday the 14th at 6:30 in the BMR Auditorium. All members of the band community at every level are very welcome and encouraged to attend.

We hope to see you there!

Restaurant Night at Uno’s in Bellingham, MA on December 13th

It’s hard to believe that we’re already in December! Marching band season ended just a few weeks ago and over the next few weeks Winter Percussion, Jazz band, and Holiday concerts will happen. Music is an integral part of the schools and community. The BMMA has been looking for ways to raise funds to help support the music program in our schools.

We are very excited to launch our first in a series of local restaurant fundraisers. We will be doing a monthly day in partnership with and in support of some of our local restaurants. Our first restaurant fundraiser will be at Uno’s in Bellingham, MA on December 13th. Please print out and bring the flyer below. Good for dine-in OR take out.

Uno's Fundraiser

We hope to have one special partner each month that will share a percentage of their proceeds with the BMMA when you and your families dine in or take out.

We look forward to seeing you at Uno’s on the 13th. Thank you!

Gillette Help Needed For Last 2 Events

Gillette Help Needed For Last 2 Events

Two Gillette events remaining this season! We really need to try to have a full booth for each of the remaining events.

The dates of these 2 events are 12/26/21 and 1/2/22. Both are Patriots Games, and call time at Gillette is 8:30 for both. If anyone wants to carpool or ride-share, please let me know and we can make arrangements.
We currently need about 5 more people for 12/26/21 and at least 3 more for 1/2/22.
All tips/donations for 12/26/21 are being doubled by Gillette, and I would really like to keep them all for BMMA, rather than splitting them with a fill-in group.
Let’s finish out the season strong to continue to make all of our Music Programs as robust as possible!

Please email Bonnie at [email protected] if you are available for either date and/or have any questions.
