42nd Highlanders Regimental Pipes & Drums - Memorial Tunes Fundraiser

Our band members devote a lot of time and energy to these causes, but they can't do it all alone. Your contributions help the band to purchase uniforms and equipment, and defray travel expenses for performance events and other band functions.

Dedicate a Tune

In raising funds to support its mission, the band insists on giving full value for all contributions received. In return for your donation, a piper of the 42nd Highlanders Regimental Pipes & Drums will pipe a tune specifically dedicated by name to a person you choose to recognize. Remember someone special or

give a gift to honor someone close to you. Donors will be listed on the band's honor roll.

Battle Cancer

In addition, the band will donate half of all funds raised to the Marie Curie Cancer Care. Every year the charity provides care to around 30,000 cancer patients and their families - entirely free of charge. Furthermore, the foundation provides education and training in cancer and palliative care for doctors, nurses

and other healthcare professionals, while scientists at the world-renowned Marie Curie Research Institute are at the forefront of research into the causes and treatment of human cancers.

Donate Today
Besides benefitting the band and cancer research, because both the 42nd Highlanders Regimental Pipes & Drums and the Marie Curie Cancer Care are non-profit charitable organizations 100% of your donation is tax deductible.

Help support the band, dedicate a tune in the name of somone you love and do your part to battle cancer. It's a win-win-win proposal!
