Eat Pancakes for Marching Dodgers

The Championship Madison Marching Dodgers invite you to start the day with them at the 3nd Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser on Sunday January 27nd from 9 am to noon at the Madison Elks Club (192 Main Street).  Enjoy the $6.00 all-you-can-eat breakfast of pancakes, sausage, bacon, fruit salad, juice, and coffee – and hear the thrilling stories that the Marching Dodgers can tell!  Most of all, eating pancakes together will make an important difference to the ever-growing Marching Dodgers Band as they raise money for desperately needed instruments, band safety equipment, uniforms, transportation, and more.


The Marching Dodgers recently took a huge leap up to Open Class from A class.  And once again qualified to compete in the Atlantic Coast Championships. Under the direction of Russ Batsch, their intensive practices, complex choreographed formations, high-level musicianship, and advanced drills are now well-known in Madison and across New Jersey. Each year, the Marching Dodgers entertain at Madison High School football games, the Holiday and Memorial Day Parades, Bottle Hill Day, Madison Elementary School Halloween Parades, The TJ Martell Walkathon and more. 


The Marching Dodgers are supported by the Marching Dodger Booster Club, an official 501(c)3 nonprofit charity that welcomes donations and has helped to fund improvements for the band’s  season of shows and competitions. Donations are tax-deductible and eligible for many employers' matching gifts.  Please consider contacting your employer about matching your gift.
