Reignite patriotism in the community
According to the latest Gallup poll, just 38% of citizens say they are “extremely proud” to be an American. That is 4 percentage points lower than in a poll conducted just two years ago. Meanwhile, a stunning 13% say they are “only a little proud” or “not proud at all”. From sea to shining sea, regardless of one’s age, gender, political affiliation, educational background, and geographic location, pride in the United States is in decline. We can reverse this trend and change the trajectory. Music is a powerful tool that can bring individuals together and promote trust, empathy and relief from stress; and all the scholars and studies continue to reinforce this simple truth.
Support local heroes
Since 2019 alone, The Patriotic Concert has raised over $12,000 for Rock County Veterans Services, just north of $2,000 for The Academy’s at-risk youth programs, and also several hundred dollars for VetsRoll. Last year, we raised $7,500 — a 250% increase from 2021 — the entire amount of which was donated to Rock County Veterans Services. With your help, we can continue to grow this impact.
