Meet the Summer Development Interns
Each year Bluecoats hires a group of incredible interns to work on a variety of development and fundraising projects. These interns will work to cultivate relationships with our donors, especially the Sustaining Members of The Shield. They’ll work on projects including the March-a-Thon, The Shield, the Bluecoats-operated DCI shows, and several other avenues of giving and programming, All three of the interns have a love for the marching arts and come from diverse backgrounds. Josh, Anne, and Madi, are excited to join the team for the 2019 season! Learn more about them below!
