2025-2026 Corporate Sponsorship Program

2025-2026 Corporate Sponsorship Program

Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology (POBA) Music Boosters Board

Dear Community Members,

The Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology (POBA) Marching Band is

preparing for the upcoming season, and we are reaching out to you

regarding corporate sponsorship opportunities and/or in-kind items like gift

certificates for services or goods. The POBA Music Boosters Board is a nonprofit

501c3 organization (EIN: 88-3879640) providing scholastic music

opportunities for Phillip O. Berry high school students. As a corporate

sponsor, your contributions directly benefit students for items such as sheet

music, uniforms, competition fees, transportation, and instrument repairs

that the school district does not cover.

POBA is proud to be an award-winning program in Charlotte Mecklenburg

School District. Since 2003, the music program has grown immensely and

proudly represents the school & community. Any donation is appreciated

and because the program is non-profit, your contributions might be tax-deductible.

Put your brand in front of 5,000+ local parents and community

members! Please visit our website at www.POBAmusic.com for more details

of how to become a corporate sponsor!

With gratitude,

Walter J. Suggs
