As we prepare for this special event, we’re working toward our $6,500 fundraising goal to support the band—and we’re thrilled to share that we’ve already raised over $4,000!

A huge thank you to Dan Gjelten & Lisa Burke and Tom Hiendlmayr & Jan Ormasa, who are leading the charge to help us reach our goal! Their generosity and enthusiasm are making this event possible, and we’re so grateful for their support.

With your help, we can close the gap and ensure this special performance happens! Every contribution goes directly toward covering the band's costs and helps make this unforgettable night of music and community possible. If you’d like to contribute toward this special effort in covering the band's costs, please use the form below to donate. We’re grateful for your support and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

All donors to this initiative will receive special recognition as key supporters, with your name featured in event materials and a personal shout-out at the event on May 31. 

Thank you for being a part of this event and for supporting the work of Friends of the Mississippi River!
