Beach Band FamilyThe Beach Band does a considerable amount of shopping for food and drinks for our concessions support on a weekly basis throughout the year. We search out and receive the least expensive costs for items we sale to increase our profit margins for fundraising purposes to help the children.We also use coupons when accomplishing this task which we have found can be very useful.
