Hello, my name is Lily Butler. I am 18 and am graduating as a senior this summer.

I have gotten the opportunity to participate in Golden Empire Drum and Bugle Corps. It is a great educational experience and a great place for me to make friends. The corps goes out during the summertime in Bakersfield and rehearses every day except Sundays, and then goes out on a California tour.

I have done a lot of fundraising myself and working towards getting the money, but because the summertime is coming close, I need some more help. I need 1400 more dollars for transportation, Corps fees, and living expenses.
