Help Brett March Oregon Crusaders!

I am a member of the Oregon Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps. We are a youth non-profit performing arts organization based in Portland, Oregon. We perform throughout the United States each summer, competing against some of the top music organizations in the world as the Pacific Northwest's top drum and bugle corps and the only one that represents Oregon. This summer, we will be touring over 40 days and travel nearly 10,000 miles throughout the United States, culminating in the World Finals at the Colts stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. On days that we are not traveling, we are usually practicing up to 12 hours a day. We travel by bus and sleep on gym floors. It's a very disciplined experience; I get up when I'm told, go where I'm told, eat what I'm told, and have to learn to live with 149 other people just like myself. Why do we do it? It's because we are all focused on the same goal "“ to push ourselves to be the best that we can possibly be. We end up producing a great show that combines percussion, brass, dance and visual artistry. We have members that come from all over the Pacific Northwest, California, Nevada, and some from other parts of the US. I am asking for your financial support by sponsoring me as a member of the Oregon Crusaders. This is the opportunity of a life time that I can only experience through age 21. I will be learning life skills that will impact me for the rest of my life "“ discipline, teamwork, focus, personal responsibility, and a great work ethic. Any amount that you donate to my cause would be greatly appreciated! Sponsorships can be in any amount up to the full tuition amount of $3000. I am very much looking forward to being a part of this great organization. Thank you very much for helping to make it a reality for me.
