Members of the Indian Lake Marching Band will be “flushing their friends for funds” this football season.
At the end of the first night of band camp this week, members spray painted a toilet in easy to notice purple and pink colors. Indian Lake Music Boosters President April King explains the toilet will be used for a fun way of making money.
“We were looking for something the kids could participate in without selling something. I looked up unique fundraisers and we liked this one.”
King says Indian Lake music fans can request that the toilet be placed in the yard of a friend, neighbor or relative in Logan County. Band members who can drive will make the deliveries. The “victim” may then call the ILMB Hotline at 686-7645 and request that the toilet be removed for $10, removed and sent on to another “victim” for $20, removed and sent on to another “victim” anonymously for an additional $5 in hush money, or removed and sent on to another “victim” with the guarantee it will not return to their yard for a total of $30. King says once a victim calls the hotline the Music Boosters will arrange removal within 24 hours.
The unique fundraiser has already been approved by the Indian Lake administration, Washington Township Police and the Logan County Sheriff’s Office. Funds raised will go toward the purchase of new band instruments and other supports for the Indian Lake band programs. King says they will begin deliveries August 5th.
