We kicked off our Club's first ever Fundraiser during this year's Showcase.  All voluntary donations to our club will go directly to the purchase of a professional quality drum kit to be used for our main stage backlines.  To-date, we have relied entirely on the generosity of our members to donate their kits for use during our meetings and events.   The backline has become very important to our Club....it helps to reduce the total time required to transition from one act to another, thus allowing more time for a greater variety of members to participate during Club meetings and major events.

Opening Act Level contributors donated between $30-$49 to our noble cause and in return received our inaugural Tucson Musician Club T-Shirt with limited edition Southwest Logo on the front and word cloud on the back.  Contributors include:

Kevin Burke

Tim Christopherson

Matt & Tanya Cuthbertson

Phil Daly

John "Cisco" Francisco

Pat Heinsohn

Dale Hess

Gary Hunt

Dale & Liz Iverson

Rick Kundrat

Kevin Neubert

Cindy McNown Perry

Marty Perry

David Sawyer

Ed Wanek

Bill & Susie Wilcox
