Marching Arts Give Back began as a simple get-together with Southern Californian golfing friends on April 17, 2022. After a wonderful first golf tournament, we’ve grown into a strong non-profit organization through our various donors, generous sponsors, and annual golf tournaments. Our scholarships have now impacted over 30 young performers from four California drum and bugle corps - Santa Clara Vanguard, Pacific Crest, Mandarins, and Blue Devils.
As we grow into 2026 and beyond, we eclipse $50,000 in scholarships given away and our dreams shine brighter. Please consider donating to our cause knowing that these funds go directly to young adults that will shape their future in our beautiful activity.

I am incredibly grateful for the support from Marching Arts Give Back that made it possible for me to spend the summer with such an amazing team. I hope that many more performers will be able to experience an unforgettable summer like this in the future.

I am extremely grateful to Marching Arts Give Back for supporting my second summer with The Blue Devils. As a full time student, the financial pressure to save or fundraise for my summer of Drum Corps was/is difficult. With the help of Marching Arts Give Back, I was able to grow and thrive as a performer without worrying about how I would afford my summer.
