How You Can Help Support the Boston Crusaders

Formed in 1940, the Boston Crusaders are one of the oldest drum corps in the world - surviving through good and bad times while hundreds of other corps have come and gone.  Boston has achieved this feat becuase of the loyalty and dedication of thousands of individuals - members, alumni, staff, fans, friends, family, and many with no previous connection to the corps at all.  It is only with the continued support of people like you that the corps will be around for another 65 years - providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience to members.  There are countless ways to help support the corps if you are so inspired.

Volunteer
The corps sends 150 members across the country, but there are at least as many volunteers making it all possible.  Volunteers on tour cook, drive vehicles, sell souvenirs, and much more.  Each year volunteers construct or repair the food truck, equipment truck and souvenir truck.  Others run fundraisers - working a concession stand at Gillette Stadium, selling tickets at the corps' home show, and organizing events like the spring fling and golf tournament.  There are many ways you can help too...

Donate
Over the past several decades the cost of fielding a competitive drum corps has increased dramatically.  We run many events to riase money for the the corps, but, one of the largest sources of funds is donations from individuals - either in response to the Boston Crusaders Annual Fund or unsolicited.  The easiest is to donate online through our online souvenir stand.  Donations of any level are appreciated - and rewarded with membership in the Crusaders Club.

Buy Souvenirs
If you're a fan of the corps, what better way to show it than with this year's tour shirt, or a hat, or a jacket, or any number of other Boston Crusaders' souvenirs.  There's no need to wait for a show - you can buy souvenirs online any time of year.  You'll look good and feel good for helping keep the Boston Crusaders on the road.  What better Christmas or birthday present for you favorite Boston Crusaders fan?
