Colts Booster Club Reimagined
October 3, 2024
The Colts Booster Club Board of Directors is excited to introduce you to the newly reinvigorated Colts Booster Club. The Booster Club had been inactive since before the pandemic, but recently resumed activities and elected a new Board of Directors. Following the highly successful celebration of the Colts 60th Anniversary in 2023, the board’s primary goal is to increase engagement amongst alumni and volunteers, and support the Colts organization’s activities throughout the year.
We invite you to engage with the Colts Booster Club in any of the following ways:
Annual Meeting: Wednesday, October 16, 7:30 PM CDT
We invite you to attend our monthly Booster Club meetings which are held on the third Wednesday of each month. We especially hope you can attend our Annual Meeting on October 16. We will be voting on a slate of officers who serve one-year terms and board members who serve from one- to three-year terms. We will also discuss more specific ways to get involved and connect or reconnect with the corps. Meeting reminders will be posted on Facebook (facebook.com/ColtsAlumni) and will include a Zoom link to attend these fully remote meetings.
Volunteer Opportunities
The Colts can’t operate without the help of many volunteers. Opportunities for your involvement range from in-person assistance to remote possibilities. The corps directors of Colts and Colt Cadets have identified areas where they could use support and we want to help them meet their needs. You don’t have to be a Booster Club member to volunteer on tour or at an event.
Monthly Giving
The Colts Monthly Giving program is another way to support the organization and provide a revenue stream throughout the year. We started the monthly giving program back in 2013 and the number of monthly donors has grown steadily. This is a great example of “many hands make light work” and by contributing a small amount each month, the results of our collective effort can be profound. We would like to have alumni engage those they marched with to see if we can build this program ten fold. Any amount a donor considers each month is greatly appreciated — even $5 or $10 — and all new donors receive a free T-shirt exclusive to monthly givers!
Reach out to us!
You probably have an idea we haven’t thought of. If you have any questions, comments or a suggestion, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to email anytime to boosters@colts.org. The drum corps has been on a nice trajectory for several years now, and we would like to do all we can to support the mission of using music and excellence to teach each other about success in life.
Thank you for your continued support!
