Big Day of Giving

Feed the Dragon

At the Mandarins, we’re gearing up for an electrifying summer of performances, rehearsals, and unforgettable experiences. Every member of our corps- member, staff, and volunteer, alike- relies on four meals a day throughout our intense 75-day summer season, not to mention the pre-season preparation. Feeding a world-class drum and bugle corps is no small feat – it’s a community effort!

Dress the Dragon

We are seeking sponsors for our 2025 uniforms, and you can help us Dress the Dragons! Sponsors can even select a specific uniform number and support their Dragon! Multiple uniform sponsorships are encouraged! By sponsoring a uniform, the performer keeps their uniform, and you will receive a commemorative photo of the corps in uniform and a public thank you for your support.

Scholarship
Donations

Each year, Mandarins has talented young musicians and guard members whose socio-economic circumstances make it impossible for these promising young people to raise a portion of their tour fees. Mandarins maintains a scholarship fund to assist those who need help by offering scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,500.

Sponsor a Mandarin

Members of the Sacramento Mandarins Drum and Bugle Corps are seeking sponsors to help offset the costs of their Summer Tour. The Mandarins will travel via bus to competitions throughout Northern and Southern California, the Southwest, the Midwest, and finally to the Drum Corps International World Championships held in the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The entire amount of your generous sponsorship donation goes directly towards each member’s tour fee.

Annual

Campaign

Dear Mandarins Family,

We’re excited to share the Mandarins Annual Giving Campaign.

Our corps members demonstrate extraordinary dedication, rehearsing through long summer days and performing their hearts out every night. However, keeping a world-class drum corps on the field requires significant resources. From four daily meals for 200+ performers, volunteers, and staff, to transportation, uniforms, instruments, and equipment, every aspect of our program relies on the generosity of supporters like you.

This giving season, we invite you to invest in these remarkable young performers. Your 100 percent tax-deductible contribution directly supports the basic needs that keep the Mandarins on the field and performing at their best.

To make your donation, visit our website at https://www.mandarins.org/donate

Thank you for your continued support of the Sacramento Mandarins. Together, we can ensure that the magic of drum corps continues to inspire audiences and change lives for generations to come.
