Hi, my name is Ryder Shepard, and I'm a Scout from Troop 161 in Indianapolis, IN working for my Eagle Rank! For my Eagle Scout project, I'm raising money so that I can better a class and an activity that has shaped me into the person I am today. We're going to work on the percussion room!

For this project, the plan is to add a few trophy cases to display the groups awards and memories, cubbies to store music folders and drum pads, and a refrigerator to use on competition days. The fridge will help keep students healthy and fueled while also making things easier for parents who work hard to provide food.

Music education plays a huge role in my life and many others by teaching teamwork, discipline, and creativity. Improving areas of the percussion room will create a better learning environment for current students and future percussionists, while also preserving the pride and history of the program.

All donations will go toward materials, equipment, tools, and supplies needed to complete this project. Any help, whether donating or sharing this fundraiser, means the world to me and helps me work toward earning Eagle Scout while giving back to my school.

Thank you for your support!
