Support the corps at our core — the daily needs that “drive” us down the road each and every summer. Our core operations typically covers vehicle repairs, bus and truck rentals, housing, rehearsal space, tents, tables, medical supplies, etc. to ensure that our members always have what they need to succeed.

Join the 1940 Club, our monthly giving community and turn a small, manageable gift into lasting impact. Your steady support fuels us all year long—providing stability, sustaining programs, and empowering young people when it matters most. It’s an easy way to make a meaningful difference every month, ensuring the Boston Crusaders continue to thrive for years to come.

As our members spend up to 12 hours a day on the rehearsal field, they can require nearly 6,000 calories per day! Providing our members with the nourishment they need while they are on tour requires the support of many volunteers and costs approximately $150,000 each summer.

Family, friends, and fans can support our nutrition plan by sponsoring a meal and our members will recognize each gift with a hand written message on Facebook! Click below to learn more about our meal sponsorship program.
