Dear UCLA Bruin Marching Band Supporters,
Thank you for supporting our Spark campaign last Spring! Your generosity helped fuel the band's spirit and success, and now, we need you again as we face off in a fierce competition against USC—this time, in a fundraising showdown leading up to the big rivalry game on November 23!
The UCLA Bruin Marching Band is rallying to beat USC in the first-ever SoCal Rivalry Week Challenge, battling to see which university's marching band can raise the most gifts. The competition kicked off on November 17 and will end on Sunday, November 24. This competition is about gifts, so every gift, regardless of size, matters in this battle against USC.
Here's how you can help: You can give today and make your impact, but if you're feeling extra competitive, you can also sign up to be an ambassador of the campaign! Please donate, help us spread the word, and encourage your network to join us in this head-to-head challenge. With a win against USC, we'll unlock a $30,000 match gift, thanks to UCLA Marching Band alumnus Wayne Adachi '71!
Let's show the Trojans what it means to be a winner! Visit this link to donate, and click here to sign up as an ambassador to help share the campaign with your community.
Thank you again for your continued support. Let's make history and win the very first SoCal Rival Week!
Go Bruins!
