Drummathon X - Our 10th Annual!

OCT 202024

Our 10th Annual Drummathon was our fourth to be held at Grandscape in The Colony, TX. For our seventh Drummathon in a row we exceeded $50,000 in funds raised! We raised a total of $53,132! The event featured a few notable new booths. This year our Warrior Wall was the outside wall of our Warrior Booth which was manned by breast cancer survivor volunteers sharing self-exam shower cards as well as helping survivors and warriors connect to our Facebook Group Survivors Rock: A Breast Cancer Can Stick It! Community. Also, we hosted space for food courtesy of Galaxy Theater, Ben's Pretzel's and The Colony Wine Bar. We also welcomed new booth vendor School of Rock The Colony. Additionally, we had returning booth by longtime sponsors GM Designs Cymbals, plus our founder had a booth for her newly released book, Breast Cancer Can Stick It!, A Story of Hope, Fueled by Rock and Roll. Closing out the day, LSA Burger hosted our after-party with a fabulous accoustic show by Shag and Chee. Thank you to all the fundraisers, sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters for helping make Drummathon X a great success! Below are all the details from the day.

Drummathon Highlights




What is Drummathon?

Drummathon is an annual family-friendly fundraising event that brings together the drumming community (of all skill sets and ages) for one common goal: to fight breast cancer.

As Drummathon works to fight breast cancer, it is also a celebration of life, music, and passion! Top fundraising drummers have the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of family, friends and attendees! The event also features auctions, Official Breast Cancer Can Stick It! merchandise and Drummathon gear, along with some great musical guests throughout the event. It's fun for the whole family! Leading up to the event, drummers, musicians, and friends alike raise funds online to compete for a plethora of awesome prizes.

The 2015 inaugural event was hosted by Dan Shinder of Drum Talk TV and featured rock star royalty; drummers Carmine Appice (Ozzy, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven & Hell), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Bang Tango, Mr. Big). Since that time, the celebrity alumni list has grown exponentially.

Drummathon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase your talent and help eradicate breast cancer at the same time -- an experience that can't be beat!
