RaiseRight is a fundraising platform that allows families to earn money —simply by purchasing gift cards for everyday spending. By buying gift cards at face value, a percentage of every purchase goes directly back to your student account. It costs nothing extra out of pocket!  Email information@lakezurichbandboosters.com for our Organization code and then create your account! 

NOTE: Physical Gift Cards will only be ordered through BBLZ on the 10th of December. (January - November, no physical card orders through BBLZ will be accepted.)  

What does this mean?  

During holiday shopping season, BBLZ will cover the shipping and handling.  These physical gift cards will be distributed at the monthly BBLZ meeting, or you can email information@lakezurichbandboosters.com to set up a pick-up day/time/location. 

For the other 11 months of year, you can still order your own physical gift cards, but shipping and handling charges will apply.

LZHS/MSS/MSN students are selling these beautiful plants again this year (red, white, or pink).

Orders are closed. 

Pick up is at The Hope Collective on December 2nd, 2026.  

We need volunteers to help with Poinsettia pick up and delivery!

This fundraiser will contribute to your individual Student Account.
