Please Donate to Support the Worthiness of Our Cause

The growth of our corps is outpacing the revenue we earn from performances. While this is an exciting problem to have, it means we currently have a growing list of instruments and uniform items we urgently need, but are waiting on funding to purchase.

 

In just our second year as a corps, we already have 40+ events booked in 2026, a testament to the meteoric growth and demand for what we’re building. We are also consistently adding 2–3 new members every month, and our most recent recruitment campaigns alone brought in 10 interested new drummers and 5 new fifers. Most exciting of all, we’re beginning to welcome youth members, investing directly in the future of both our corps and the fife and drum community.

We’re incredibly grateful that our performances have provided generous donations. In addition to this program revenue, we have also received donations from local businesses and private donors which is a strong early vote of confidence in our mission. ​That combined support has already allowed us to: Secure our future by organizing as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and purchasing several instruments and pieces of equipment. We have also covered essential annual operating costs including insurance, administration, and organizational memberships—ensuring a strong and sustainable foundation.​

As a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit charity, all donations are tax deductible.

We Need Your Help

Because of this momentum, our most immediate need is more instruments and uniforms to support our growing membership.

To give you a clear picture of what it takes to equip one member:

  • Rope snare drum (with sling and case): $1,815

  • Rope bass drum (with harness and case): $1,626

  • Fife: $170

  • Full uniform and hat (per person): $1,309

We currently have raised $9,906 of $92,165 that it will take to purchase uniforms and instruments for all of our members.

We’ve made giving simple through Zeffy

If you believe in what we’re building, we ask that you:

  • Consider making a donation

  • Share our 3 campaigns with friends and family

  • Connect us with any businesses who may want to support

 

This corps is not just growing, it’s building something lasting. With your help, we can equip the next generation and carry this tradition forward.
