NEW Band Organization Tau Upsilon Beta Alpha
Our goal as an Organization is to better our section and Tech Band in any way possible. In order to accomplish these goals we need YOUR support. These projects on average are going to cost $2,000-$8,000! We have only been around since January 20, 2011, so we need all the support we can get even in these tough economic times. We are trying to repair our instruments, replace and purchase new tuba covers, mouthpieces, and neck and bits, and other various items as needed. We are doing everything we can to raise funds to cut some expenses on our own but we need YOUR donations to help with our cause. I am asking our alumni, fellow students, friends, and supports of the band to help with our efforts. Our alumni whether band or not is a HUGE part of the success of this University that includes YOUR marching band. Any and all donations are welcome and tax deductible. Donations can be made online via our website. Soon we will be out in our community getting the word out on who we are and what we are about. A few of us will be at the spring game look for us with our letters TYBA!
Thank You,
Loren J, Co-Founder and President of Tau Upsilon Beta Alpha

Re: NEW Band Organization Tau Upsilon Beta Alpha
Good luck to you guys on your planned improvements and such.
Are donations to be made to the Louisiana Tech Foundation and if so, what designation should be made so the money goes to your account?

Donations are to be made to Tau Upsilon Beta Alpha. On our website there is a donation link that is linked directly to our Paypal account. We do have a tax ID number if you would like that send an email to tubalpha@gmail.com. I never received any PM messages.

Sorry you didn't get the PM and don't know how that (didn't) happen, but I still have the question. Can we contribute through the Foundation and have you coordinate with the Foundation for the dispensing of the funds? Perhaps you could discuss this with Corre Stegall.

That is the main reason why we have linked up with Paypal. Paypal tracks all of our donations/payments and requires proof that we are using the funds as promised. I don't know anything about the foundation. It is much easier for us to reach the goal(which is posted on our site) and pay directly with our account. If you have any doubt/questions where your money is going by all means contact Paypal. We will be providing proof once purchases are made as well as quotes from businesses. If you or anyone would like to speak with us directly let us know. A few of us will be at the game on Saturday.

I think folks want to run their contributions through the Foundation for tax purposes. I know I do. They can send me one statement at the end of the year that totals contributions to different colleges and groups on campus.

I will look into that.
Re: NEW Band Organization Tau Upsilon Beta Alpha
I have contacted the University to set up an account with University Foundation. When I receive information I will keep you informed.
