6th Annual March Forth Campaign

As we strive to create one of the nation’s finest music programs, we are kicking off our sixth annual March Forth fundraiser now through March 04, 2026!  As our program grows, we want to continue to be able to provide EVERY student with the tools they need to be successful.

March 04 is known as “National Marching Arts Day.”  To tie into this day, we are opening the March Forth fundraiser for one month with a goal of $10,000 in unrestricted funds.  All donations are tax deductible.  

GOAL: RAISE $10,000 BY
MARCH 4, 2026

If 500 people would donate $20,
we would achieve our goal!

This year, we are specifically fundraising for:

  • Six $1,000 scholarships presented every year
  • $4,000 to kickstart a private lesson program

Sponsorships

The Easton Area High School Instrumental Music Association (IMA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports the students in the instrumental music program at Easton Area High School. The IMA consists of parents and guardians of students within our music program. It is a volunteer-run organization that supports both the financial and volunteer needs of the band and orchestra. 

Corporate sponsorship of the IMA is integral to the financial well-being of our operating budget supporting the many opportunities afforded our students. The IMA supports over $80,000 in annual expenses, including annual scholarships, marching band operating expenses, uniform care, new instrument/ equipment purchases, maintenance costs, travel opportunities, and more. 

As a corporate sponsor of the IMA, there are many benefits your organization would receive, in addition to supporting our students. We hope you consider supporting our wonderful music program. Our students work incredibly hard each year and we hope to be able to continue to support their needs through generous donations such as yours.
