Fundraising
All funds raised for this school year will be split between the band program at large and individual student accounts. Our goal for this year is to help fund new uniforms for all the bands.
Spolumbos fundraiser
Our first QEBPA fundraiser of the 2024-25 school year is Spolumbos! Spolumbos is Calgary’s original Italian deli and has been an iconic fixture in Inglewood since 1991. Many of you have seen their products in grocery stores, but if you’ve never been to the deli, it’s very much worth a trip. To find out more about Spolumbos and their amazing food, check their website.
It's easy to take part in this fundraiser! Simply place an order for some delicious food before February 18 (details below). Then, expect to pick up your order in early March at the school. Please reach out to your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and encourage them to order as well - stock up, support a local business and support your student.

How to order:
Please fill out the order form and email it to qebpainfo@gmail.com. Use one sheet per payment – if you are ordering for multiple family members and making a single payment, use one sheet. Otherwise you can make as many copies for people as you like.
At the same time, send an e-transfer to qebpainfo@gmail.com with the payment. Unpaid orders will not be delivered.
Deadline for orders & payment is February 18.
Orders will be available for pickup in early March, at the school. There is limited temporary cold storage available to us, but most of the items must be picked up on delivery day as they are perishable. We are anticipating March 6 for delivery, to be confirmed.
If for any reason you can’t use the order form, email responses will be considered as orders as well.
If you have any questions, please contact us at qebpainfo@gmail.com or call David Woods at 403-681-8214.
