 CHOP TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT
 
Sprayberry Band has been given the AMAZING opportunity to staff the H&F Burger cart with 2 cashiers and the Fox Bros. Barbecue cart with 2 cashiers and 3 runners, for a total of 7 people per event. These are very busy, high-sales locations which will give us the chance to earn a lot for our organization and for any other Sprayberry groups joining us. We will set the FP amounts soon! Please share this with any other Sprayberry booster organizations.

Our Braves / Delaware North contacts Ashley and Mike really appreciated our professionalism, our reliability, and our work ethic over the past two seasons. They "went to bat" for us, to secure these locations for Sprayberry. No other groups were considered for this opportunity. Let's really show our appreciation by getting our CHOP TEAM serving permits, and doing the training as soon as possible. 

Want to participate in the #1 highest-earning fundraiser to bank some FPs (Fundraising Points) for your child's band account?! Here's how:


STEP ONE
Obtain or renew your Cobb County server's permit. (Must complete PRIOR to attending a training session.) To obtain yours, visit Cobb County's website for details. 

STEP TWO
