Donate to the Band
Pipe bands have long been associated with fire departments throughout the United States. Pipe bands, with or without drums, derive from early Celtic heritage. Many U.S. firefighters today claim Celtic heritage and the distinctive sound of bagpipes has become fraternally linked to our noble profession. Pipe bands routinely perform at events such as weddings, banquets and unfortunately funerals. In keeping with our borrowed motto, “Honor the Fallen,” the Los Angeles County Fire Fighters Pipes and Drums was formed in late November, 2011. Since it’s forming, members have been meeting, organizing, and practicing on a monthly basis.
As the idea of starting a band grew quickly, prospective members were warned of the intense time commitment and cost that would be involved. As a new organization, we would like to raise money so as to send band members to represent the Los Angeles County Fire Department at events nationwide. Currently, each band member must pay for travel out of pocket. These costs can quickly become outrageous. We are seeking help from individuals, local businesses, or any other organization wishing to make a donation to help offset our costs.
A donation of $500 or more will reserve a special plaque on our bass drum and a link on our website for you as a band sponsor. You may choose to use the plaque to memorialize a family member or friend, or as advertisement for your business. Our bass drum is carried with the band at all of our performances and we would be proud to carry your message of support wherever we go. Donation above $250 will also receive a link and recognition on the website. Smaller amounts are also welcomed and appreciated. The band is sincerely grateful to all that have generously contributed in the past, and we look forward to working with you in the future.
