Franklin Central Winter Guard and Percussion programs have a long history of competing at the world level. With rising costs and additional expenses, we must raise funds so the performers may continue to compete at the highest level and carry on the rich tradition of their predecessors.

The FC Band Boosters are kicking off a unique fundraiser called "Miles to Dayton."

The premise is this: it is approximately 100 miles from FCHS to the University of Dayton Arena.

We ask donors to buy a (pretend) mile marker. For example, I want to purchase mile marker 97 (1997 was a good year for me!) so my donation would be $97. I would select the group I'd like to support and then check out.

If each group sells all 100 mile markers, then each group would raise $5,030!

Of course, you can donate any amount. We don't mind if other donors purchase the same mile marker. We are simply trying to raise funds to give our students a fighting chance to compete against the best groups in the nation. All donations are needed and appreciated!
