Hi everyone,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying your March with family, friends, and family by choice. I wanted to provide a recap of the 2022 Great Give because without donations from all of you we couldn’t have made this true kickoff of the Chiefs United Endowment Campaign possible.
Over 600 people donated to the Marching Chiefs 2022 Great Give campaign. The individual gifts plus incentive awards gave us a “giving day total” of $120,450. Grand Prizes will not be announced for another month so our final total could be a lot more.
I would personally like to thank Mike & Judy Pate for their $25,000 gift (which is actually just the first component of their $100,000 pledge to Chiefs United). If you haven’t seen the video on social media about their cause and reasoning behind this project, I invite you to take a look (you do not need a Facebook log-in to view this video).
For the immediate future, we will be focusing on the Chiefs United endowment campaign. It will take more than the Great Give to reach the $1.6 million dollar endowment, but I truly believe we can get there. If you are in a position to make a pledge, please contact Dr. Patrick Dunnigan or myself, and we will get you in touch with the right people.
Another milestone: since we started getting serious about the Great Give in 2015, our supporters have donated over a half million dollars — in the neighborhood of about $540,000. THAT is absolutely amazing. These donations have gone toward wonderful things for our Marching Chiefs: new instruments, equipment, a new state-of-the art sound system, and now, direct financial assistance to the young people comprising Marching Chiefs — all thanks to our alumni, fans, friends, and families.

Myself, along with the entire MCA Board, Patrick, David, and Chandler thank everyone for making a donation. Every dollar counts.
One Band. One Goal. Every Chief.
