Press Release

As part of our organization's commitment to our community, the Lake Erie Regiment Independent World Color Guard has been active in service work in the Erie, PA area for many years now

The Regiment has taken part in an inner city school program where the members have come into the school and read to the children and worked with them after school as well as then performing their competition program for these youngsters. We have also been involved with the Second Harvest Food Bank both at our sponsored German Heritage Festival each Labor Day as well as quietly collecting food for the bank during the winter months.

In 2009, we participated in the Winter Guard International initiative to support the Susan G. Komen "For the Cure" program and helped by joining hundreds of other color guards across the country in raising funds for this program. In 2010, our guard became involved with another local organization - "Linked by Pink." This group helps promote awareness of breast cancer, raises funds for this cause and acts as a support and education system to women with breast or other cancers as well.

Three women from this organization became closely involved in our 2010 show by telling their stories of being cancer survivors as the back drop for our program. Our show, entitled "Strength, Courage, and Hope" then focused on these women and their struggle. The Regiment helped raise money for Linked by Pink by baking and selling numerous pink pound cakes for the cause.

This year for the 2011 season, the Lake Erie Regiment will be collecting brand new stuffed animals and then donating them to our local Shriners Children's Hospital to distribute to kids who are sick and undergoing treatments.

All of the Regiment members know how lucky we are to be doing something we love in taking part in the Winter Guard activity. By doing this fundraiser, we will again be able to give back to the community and pay forward the many great opportunities given to us.
