We need a tuba.

Lovingly dubbed the "FrankenTuba" by membership, our oldest tuba desperately needs to be replaced. We need your help to do this because tubas are very expensive. The prohibitive price of tubas often makes it difficult for players to afford their own instrument, so Lakeside Pride does everything we can do to provide these expensive instruments for our players to borrow (at no cost).

With your help, we will be able to continue to provide tubas for our membership to utilize! Our goal is to raise $10,000 for a middle price-range tuba, however tubas can cost anywhere between $8,000 and $12,000.

Whether you can donate $1000, $100, or $10, your donation makes every bit of difference to our members. Your generosity is what fuels us to lead the sound of progress in Chicago and beyond!

All donated money goes directly to our instrument purchasing fund, so any money donated through this campaign will be used solely for that purpose. Thank you for helping us lead the sound of progress!
