5th Annual March Forth Campaign

As we strive to create one of the nation’s finest music programs, we are kicking off our fifth annual March Forth fundraiser now through March 4, 2025! As our program grows, we want to continue to be able to provide EVERY student with the tools they need to be successful.

March 4 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 $15,000 in unrestricted funds. All donations are tax deductible.

GOAL: RAISE $15,000 BY MARCH 4, 2024

If 500 people would donate $30, we would achieve our goal! It costs approximately $80,000 to maintain the programs the IMA supports on an annual basis. Through the donations of many over the past four years, some of what we have been able to provide includes:

  • maintaining instruments and uniforms
  • student leadership seminars (Drum Major Academy, etc.)
  • providing six $1,000 scholarships on an annual basis to graduating seniors
  • bringing in guest clinicians/ private lessons
  • purchasing of new instruments & cases
  • offsetting costs of travel within the instrumental music program

For this campaign, families would also be able to have 50% of donations go towards
their student’s trip contribution by entering their names in the PayPal confirmation screen
