Purdy's Chocolate Christmas Fundraiser for CCHS Band

Calling ALL chocolate lovers!

  • The band is teaming up with Purdy's Chocolatier to fundraise for our band trip to Winnipeg in hopes of raising $7500.00 or more!
  • Stock up on your favorite Purdys Christmas treats (did someone say Hedgehogs?) AND support a great cause at the same time—it’s the best of both worlds. All fundraising profit raised will directly support our band, so every order makes a great difference to us.
  • Ordering is as easy as eating chocolate. Just click this link here, enter your email, and click "Join Campaign". Once you're on our band campaign page, you'll need to locate "Shop Online" which will either be on the banner across the top, or under the three bars in the corner if you are on a phone. Once there you'll be able to order whatever you want as Christmas goodies and presents!
  • The order deadline is December 3rd (tomorrow!!!), and pickup for your chocolates will be on December 13th at Credo High School. If this day doesn't work for you, we can make other arrangements.
  • If you have any questions please email our coordinator Maggie Van Seters maggie.vanseters@gmail.com
Thank you! From the High School Band!
