Band’s latest fundraiser: Empty ink cartridges
Businesses
in the Fort Myers area soon will start seeing young musicians showing
up at their storefronts, asking if their printers have run dry.Members
of Fort Myers High’s marching band are collecting empty ink and toner
cartridges as a fundraiser for their London trip. Bonita Springs-based
Rapid Refill Ink recycles the cartridges, and will pay students
anywhere from 50 cents to $10 for each cartridge, according to Todd
Seman, partner and sales director.Students already collected about 150
cartridges, and combined with a donation from Rapid Refill, earned
$250.All proceeds will help finance the marching band’s winter trip to
London, where it will participate in the city’s New Year’s Day parade.
The band still needs to collect between $80,000 to $100,000 before
making its final payment to parade organizers in early November.Band
parents have created a target list of businesses to solicit, but any
other businesses, organizations or individuals can participate in the
recycling program by calling Rapid Refill at 992-4626
