Broken Arrow Bands has launched the "Keep Us Truckin'" campaign to raise money for a new semi trailer. The band is retiring "Pride Force 1," a semi truck it has used for 23 years to haul its gear.

Why it matters

The campaign seeks community, alumni, and supporter donations to keep the band's touring equipment transport running for Broken Arrow residents and its supporters. Retiring the truck after 23 years marks the end of a long-serving piece of the band's operations.

The semi truck was purchased in 2003 from Mayflower Moving Company and has hauled the band's gear for 23 years. The band has taken the truck to Los Angeles, Orlando, Atlanta, and Washington D.C., but the campaign's funding goal was not disclosed.

Roadmap

The retirement of a semi truck after 23 years reflects how band and school programs often depend on long-lived, privately funded transport for travel to competitions and events. The campaign shows community-based fundraising filling the gap when such equipment needs replacement.
