Help Support the Patriots Band

The Patriots Band is a non-profit, charity organization made up of Lorain County and other North Coast area musicians donating their time and talents. Even with volunteer musicians, there are operating expenses to support practice sessions and multiple concerts annually. Modest ticket prices and minimal performance fees cover only a small percentage of the band’s annual operating costs, so the band’s continued existence and success rely on your generous donations.

Your contribution to the Patriots Band fund is a gift to guarantee the future of live, community-oriented, concert band music in northeast Ohio. The Patriots Band fund is a wonderful way to send a gift to a friend, celebrate an event, or to honor the memory of a loved one.

The Patriots Community Band is registered under section 501(c)(3) of the State of Ohio tax code as a charitable organization and your donations are tax deductible. We can provide tax ID and other information upon request.

Corporate donations, grants, sponsorships, memorial and individual contributions are all welcomed and greatly appreciated. We appreciate your support of the band, and will use it to further our work to provide enjoyable music to Lorain County and the northeast Ohio area.

Individuals can contribute to the band’s financial needs by becoming a member of the Patriots Band Metronome Society. Multiple levels of support are available and all support levels are appreciated. Your donation will be formally recognized in our concert programs and on our web page. Download the donation form to provide your support. The deadline for renewal each year is November 15th.
