Jammers Jam Co Fundraiser
Scappoose Bands Launches Unique Fundraiser with Astoria-Based Jammers Jam Co!
Scappoose Bands is partnering with Astoria-based Jammers Jam Co. for a unique fundraising campaign featuring locally made jams, BBQ sauces, and apple butter. The fundraiser runs October 29 through November 12, 2026 with 50% of fundraiser sales going directly back to Scappoose Bands.
Community members do not need to know a band student to participate. Community members can place orders directly through the Scappoose Bands online fundraiser website at: www.jammersjamco.com/sb
Each product sold through the fundraiser features a custom Scappoose Bands label along with a scannable QR code that plays music featuring Scappoose Band students. The collaboration combines locally made products with the work of local student musicians, making each jar a unique way to support the band program and a great option for holiday gifts.
Local supporters can order through a Scappoose Band student or purchase directly on the online fundraiser website. For friends, family, alumni, and supporters outside the area, online orders can also be shipped anywhere in the United States. Orders collected directly by students will be delivered to Sacappoose High School on November 18, just in time for the holiday season.
The fundraiser is open to the entire community through November 12.
