Help Us March On Through the Years!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(ROSEMONT, Ill.) — 2020 is the 72nd year of The Cavaliers existence. That existence and the momentum we have worked so hard to achieve is now threatened by the COVID-19 virus and the cancellation of the 2020 DCI season. The administration and the Board of Directors have enacted a plan to significantly reduce operating expenses but those actions alone are not enough. As you can imagine, our main sources of revenue (dues, appearance fees, events, merchandise sales) have disappeared and we need your help to ensure "we march along" for many more years to come. While we are actively pursuing what may be available to us through the US Government programs, we are asking our alumni, families, friends and ALL of those in Cavalier Nation to help provide us a Stimulus that will get us through to the 2021 season and our 73rd, 74th, and 75th anniversaries!
Stimulus-72 is simple. In honor of our 72nd year, we need 720 people to sacrifice $72 each and 72 generous patrons to donate $720 to keep The Cavaliers marching on through the years! We hope that when those US Government Stimulus payments arrive you can support us with your tax-deductible donations to The Cavaliers Stimulus-72 Plan. Future generations of Cavaliers are depending on all of us!
