Ways to Sell Tickets

SPAT Camp Call-a-thon Challenge

Friday, July 31, 2026 | Approximately 4:00–5:00 PM

Students will participate in a fun, director-led competition by texting and calling friends, family, and supporters to sell raffle tickets.

Last year, the winning group earned an extra hour of sleep and started the next day of SPAT Camp at 9:00 AM instead of 8:00 AM. (Rewards are determined by the directors and may vary.)

Important: Only online sales made during this one-hour challenge will count toward the competition.

To help your student be successful, consider giving friends and family a heads-up that they may receive a message during the challenge. Recommended wording and reminders will be shared through HEJA prior to the event.

Neighborhood Sales

Students are encouraged to walk their neighborhoods and sell tickets in person. This is a great activity to do with fellow band members and an excellent way to connect with community supporters.

Social Media Promotion

Share your student's raffle ticket link on your social media accounts to help reach family, friends, and supporters.

Community Sales Shifts

Students will also have opportunities to sell tickets at local businesses. Sign-up information will be shared through HEJA and SignUpGenius.
