Another Chance to Double Your Impact!

The first weekend results of the Backyard Brawl fundraising challenge between The Cavaliers and Phantom Regiment are in. As of this past Tuesday night, Regiment was ahead $5,347 to $4,801.

HOWEVER, another one of our own alums has stepped up to the plate, with a $1,000 matching challenge today, Friday the 13th.

Donate NOW

If we raise $1,000 today, he'll kick in another grand to put us at least $2k for the day. A little more incentive? Cavalier Alumni Association President Chris Hartowicz has publicly promised to donate $100 to Regiment if they're still beating us by midnight tonight!

This matching offer is only good IF The Cavaliers raise at least $1,000 separately today, Friday, July 13!

Founded in 1948, The Cavaliers are one of the most successful drum and bugle corps in history, winning 20 national championships, including seven Drum Corps International world championships since 1992. Each summer, 150 male brass, percussion and color guard performers aged 16-22 present a marching music show considered among the most challenging and original in the world.

The group performs at more than 30 competitions across the US and for more than 100,000 fans. Along the way, the young men not only learn about music and performing, but have a life-changing experience based on excellence, teamwork and camaraderie.
