Oak Lawn Band
Support the Music. Strengthen Our Community
Every year, the Oak Lawn Band participates in North Texas Giving Day, one of the largest community-wide giving events in the nation. This annual fundraiser gives friends, family, and supporters an opportunity to invest in an organization that is making a meaningful difference throughout North Texas.
For more than 45 years, the Oak Lawn Band has been bringing people together through the power of music. As one of the largest LGBTQIA+ community bands in Texas, we provide a welcoming and affirming space where musicians of all backgrounds, identities, and experience levels can learn, perform, build lasting friendships, and serve our community through music.
Your generosity helps make all of this possible.
Donations to the Oak Lawn Band help provide:
Concerts that are accessible and affordable for our community
Music, instruments, and equipment for our ensembles
Rehearsal and performance venues
Scholarships and financial assistance for members
Educational opportunities and outreach programs
Marching band performances at Pride celebrations and community events
New musical works and memorable concert experiences
The Oak Lawn Band is more than a performing ensemble—we are a family, a place of belonging, and a visible symbol of inclusion, pride, and artistic excellence. Every performance celebrates diversity, creates connections, and reminds our audiences that music has the power to unite people from every walk of life.
Whether you've attended one of our concerts, marched alongside us, supported a friend or loved one in the band, or simply believe in the importance of music and community, your gift makes a lasting impact.
Please consider making a donation during North Texas Giving Day and help ensure that the Oak Lawn Band continues to inspire, educate, and bring our community together for generations to come.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us keep the music playing.
