The Marching Avenir Highsteppers

Avenir- (French) "Future or a time to come"

a newly formed nonprofit organization dedicated to "empowering youth through drill, dance and leadership development" or "providing safe, creative outlets for young people in the Quad Cities area".

Our mission is clear: As we build the foundation for this vital work, your support can make a lasting impact.

My name is Kevin Johnson, as a child I was in the drill team for many years and without the drill team I don't know where I would be it fostered to many strength that I currently have in my life right now I was able to become a successful business owner and a pillar in my community. Being in the drill team kept me out of trouble and it kept me out of the street. It kept me safe and provided a safe environment for me to grow and to learn from. I believe that I am doing God's work in my community by organizing this program. I am here to work and to serve my community!

Any donation helps we are in need of the following:
