Welcome to the 2024 Feed The Knights Fund:
Fueling the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps' 2024 Tour!
This year, we're on a crucial mission to support the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps throughout their rigorous and exhilarating 2024 tour. The "Feed the Knights" fundraiser is pivotal in ensuring that our 165 dedicated members, along with our invaluable staff and volunteers, receive the nutritional support needed to maintain their exceptional performance levels.
Why Your Support is Vital
The Blue Knights' annual tour is a testament to the dedication, featuring intense rehearsals, extensive travel over 10,000 miles in 80 days, and performances that demand everything from our members. A well-balanced, nutritious diet is critical for sustaining their energy and health, requiring nearly 4,000 calories daily per member. Your support will directly contribute to providing over 200 nutritious meals four times a day, keeping our team fueled and focused.
Every Contribution Makes a Difference
We believe that every donation, regardless of size, can significantly impact our ability to provide for our corps. Our members have dedicated their summer to excellence in performance, enduring a grueling schedule to inspire audiences nationwide. They need your help to stay nourished and energized.

Here are some fun facts to help you visualize the impact you have when you help us "Feed The Knights"
Feast Your Eyes on This! Imagine a mountain of spaghetti tall enough to rival the Leaning Tower of Pisa! In just one week, our Blue Knights power through 300 lbs of pasta, potatoes, and rice. That’s a carb-fest fit for royalty!
🥩 Protein Power to the People! 🍗 Every week, our Knights devour 500 lbs of chicken, beef, pork, and fish. That's heavier than a grand piano!
🍳Egg-straordinary Achievements! 🥚 Our morning rally cry? Crack, pour, and scramble! With 60 dozen eggs consumed weekly, we're not just making breakfast; we're crafting egg masterpieces worthy of a spot in the Louvre.
🥛Milky Way Galaxy in a Glass 🥛35 gallons of milk a week means we're practically swimming in a dairy galaxy. Each sip strengthens bones and dreams alike, propelling our community toward our goals.
🍞 PB&J: The Sandwich of Champions 🥪 With 180 loaves of bread, we're assembling 400 PB&J sandwiches daily. That's enough to lay a trail of sandwiches from here to the moon and back (well, almost). Our sandwich assembly line? More efficient than Santa's workshop!
💸 The Price of Dreams 💸Feeding the flames of passion for 80 days to 215 incredible souls comes with a price tag of $110,000. That's less than the cost of a superhero cape these days! For just $1.72 per meal, we're not just eating; we're crafting futures, one bite at a time.
