Last night, one of the Color guard members, Bianca Vocke, of the Colts drum and Bugle Corps passed away due to complications from a car accident over a week ago. The Colts family is in prayer and celebrating the life of an amazing young woman.

The Colts are attempting to raise funds on behalf of her family and the other Colts color guard member, Erin Reichle, injured in the accident. We are reaching out to the Drum Corps community to support these families in their time of need. See note from Colts Director, Greg Orwell

"We are establishing accounts for both families at:
Dupaco Community Credit Union
c/o Sue Hallahan
3299 Hillcrest Rd.
Dubuque, IA 52001

You may also mail your contribution to the Colts:
P.O. Box 515
Dubuque, IA
52004-0515

and we will get it to them.
Checks may be made out either or both:
Bianca Vocke Fund
Erin Reichle Fund
You can make a donation via the Colts Store, as well. Click here to make a contribution using your credit card on the Colts secure site.

Regardless of what health insurance they may have, there are tremendous expenses that the families have and will continue to incur that will not be covered.
Please do what you can to assist them.
Expenses for both families will certainly run into the thousands of dollars, and they will continue to mount.
Bianca's parents have yet to be home, with all of the expenses that out of town living represents, and Erin's folks just got home after a week.
B's mom has quit her job to be with her, and Jay has been off work this entire week as well.
Erin's parents have similar situations.
Thank you again for all the best wishes that continue to pour in. What a difference they make to both kids and their families!
Take care,
Greg"
