Up for adoption.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Foundation and the Blugold Marching Band are providing the community an opportunity to support arts and education by adopting a band member. The Blugold Marching Band is continuously growing, with a leap of 60 to 300 members in 10 years. Unfortunately their budget is low and they are competing against schools with a much higher budget. Each contribution of $250 per band member will ensure a student has the necessary instruments, uniforms, student travel expenses, and preseason expenses such as food, hotel fees, and room and board.  Contributors will be able to remember how they made a difference with a photograph and biography of their adopted band member and a chance to meet their adoptee. For more information, contact Nicole Poehling at 836-5628 or POEHLINM@uwec.edu. As appropriately stated on the UWEC Foundation website, please, “make sure the band plays on.”
