The Spirit of Newark desperately needs drum corps fans, friends, and foes alike help in order to survive this season. Being the only DCI national touring corps in America from an inner city, serving predominately minority youth, the Spirit of Newark does not raise much money from its poor, disadvantaged marching members. The City of Newark, New Jersey does not help us (see Star Ledger article "Dispirited Newark Corps Plays Blue Tune, July 8, 2006, even though the Newark Municipal Council started and funded the corps in 1991.
It costs more than $1500 per youngster to operate eleven months of the year. We are lucky if a youngster can raise $200. Furthermore, most of our instruments and uniforms are older than many of our members. Even our drum sticks, drum heads and keyboard mallets are remnants of past years.
We are asking for your help in any way possible - yes times are tough for everyone - so you can imagine how tough it is in the inner city!
Send your tax deductible donations (Spirit is a 501(c)(3) non-profit,) non-perishable food items, Spirit Corps Fund Sponsorships - any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Also check our Sponsor Letter in the appendix area of the 2010 Handbook (it is on the last page)

Background
The Spirit of Newark is the only DCI touring corps that hails from the inner city. The art of drum and bugle corps is not only a unique and effective deterrent to gangs, violence and juvenile delinquency for minority youth, but also and attractive and successful way to show them the "outside" / "real" world
