Ensembles will power their way to the end of 2019 with the Drum Corps Giving Challenge

Drum corps fans around the world once again have the opportunity to join together in financial support of their favorite groups on the road to the DCI World Championships by participating in the 2019 Drum Corps Giving Challenge.

Generating more than $1.6 million over the past four seasons, the 2019 edition of the Drum Corps Giving Challenge fundraiser will pit nearly 30 different DCI World and Open Class corps and SoundSport teams against each other in a class-level, head-to-head fundraising competition. Each group will vie to raise more money from its alumni, fans and friends than the other groups in its competitive class.

The participating organizations will ambitiously aim to surpass last year’s campaign total of $315,903, putting much-needed funds into the hands of organizations across Marching Music’s Major League.

Every dollar collected by the participating teams during the contest period goes toward their respective Drum Corps Giving Challenge totals. For the many participating ensembles already running various fuel campaigns, alumni donation programs, and fund-a-meal campaigns on their own, dollars raised through those campaigns are accrued into each group’s individual total while this special fundraising drive is in effect.

To donate, fans can visit the unified webpage for the campaign at DCI.org/givingchallenge where they can click on the link for the corps they wish to support, then use the individual corps’ giving pages to make their online donations.
