One of our fund holders came up with the idea to feature a special Live Auction item that brings awareness to funds at the Foundation.

The Drums Along the Red Cedar Youth Music Endowment Fund fuels Dunn County students’ passion for music, giving them the opportunity to expand their talents and experience the joys of summer camp! 

The amount raised on this BANJO during the Gala on November 2nd (Live Auction #11 – Drumming Up Dreams) will go into the Drums Along the Red Cedar Youth Music Camp Scholarship Fund. Established through the lasting legacy of a community-driven drum corps event, this fund opens doors for young musicians to chase their dreams, create unforgettable memories, and shape a future rich in music.
