Protecting The Future of Bluecoats
At Bluecoats, we’re committed to making a lasting impact. For over fifty years, we’ve delivered world-class performing arts education programs, first to the young people of Canton, Ohio, and now reaching to students around the globe.
One symbol has remained our calling card for decades – the emblem of the police shield.
Now, that symbol represents a community of donors committed to protecting our future. Your Membership is invested for a lifetime, and you’ll become a VIP with the benefits our most ardent supporters deserve.

The Shield is about more than a drum corps. It’s about a mission, launched by the Canton Police Boys’ Club, dedicated to the growth of young people. That mission has held the icon of a police shield as its calling card since even before Bluecoats was founded in 1972.
Today that shield comes to the protection of Bluecoats in the form of a monthly giving community. Donations are made monthly via credit card or ACH band transfer and directly fund the programs that keep the mission alive today. As a member of The Shield, you are a VIP at the heart of our mission. You will have exclusive access to VIP benefits, putting you in direct contact with the programs that you support.
