6th Annual Midwest Combine Challenge Is On Through Saturday, July 25!

July 19, 2026

Midwest Combine Challenge

Back for the sixth consecutive summer, the Midwest Combine Challenge is a friendly competition amongst our Midwest Combine colleagues to see who can raise the most money in a week. This year, the Challenge also lines up with with our Annual Appeal so if you are looking to make your summer contribution to the Colts, this would be a great week to do so. All of the Midwest Combine corps are competing to see who can raise the most money in donations from Tuesday, July 21 until end of day on Saturday, July 25. Let's show the drum corps community what the Red Team is made of! All contributions help fuel the corps and drive us toward the DCI World Championships.

All donations during this time — whether a gift to our Annual Appeal, a food donation via our meal calendar, or your monthly contribution to The Legion — all count toward the Midwest Combine Challenge. Colts supporters have been tremendous throughout the years. We would not be here without you!

You can make a donation online via our Givebutter donor platform or mail a check to: Colts Youth Organization, 2300 Twin Valley Drive, Dubuque, IA 52003

If you typically receive an Annual Appeal fundraising letter in the mail, one should be showing up in your mailbox soon. If you'd like to be added to our Annual Appeal mailing list, please email: jeff@colts.org

Every gift is appreciated. Thank you!
