    We are excited to share that this year, we are organizing a fundraiser to provide a special meal for the 2025 Pride members during their band camp. Donations will cover a delicious catered meal by Colasante's Ristorante & Pub, drinks, desserts, and supplies (plates, utensils, napkins). The projected cost for this event is $5,000.

    How You Can Help

    · Make a monetary donation (any amount helps!) - Please visit https://2025-pride-band-picnic.cheddarup.com

    · Donate drinks or sponsor the event as a business or        organization (contact Rebecca Campbell                            at RebeccaCampbell@wvualumniband.org)

    To make donating as secure and convenient as possible, we are using Cheddar Up, a trusted fundraising platform widely used by organizations like ours. Please note that, as with many electronic donation sites—including our own band website—Cheddar Up charges credit card processing fees. Unfortunately, the fundraising committee is unable to absorb these fees, and moving forward, credit card fees for fundraising events will be passed along to the donor. While we regret this necessity, our priority is ensuring that every dollar you contribute is dedicated to the intended purpose.

    Rest assured that all funds raised for this event will go directly toward providing the picnic meal for The Pride. Should there be any remaining funds after the event, they will be set aside to help cover costs of future meals for the band.

    We deeply appreciate your generosity and ongoing support for the WVU Alumni Band and The Pride. Thank you for helping us continue this meaningful tradition and for investing in the musical legacy of our university.

    Pride Stipends

    In previous years, we have proudly collected donations to provide each marching band student with a stipend during the band camp picnic. However, beginning in 2025, university policy allows stipends to be distributed only during times of travel, such as bowl games or special trips like last year’s Macy’s parade appearance. This means that while we will not be collecting funds for stipends at camp this year, we remain committed to finding meaningful ways to support our student musicians each season in collaboration with the WVU Band Office. We encourage you to continue supporting our Annual Pride Picnic, to help show the band members just how much they are valued.
