🎺 It’s EIU Giving Day! 🎺

The Eastern Illinois University Panther Marching Band is the sound and spirit of Eastern Illinois University, bringing energy, pride, and tradition to every game day and campus celebration. Your support helps the PMB continue making that impact for current students and future Panthers.

As a special thank-you, donors who give $50 or more will receive an officially retired PMB uniform patch! These authentic patches were worn on PMB uniforms over the years—they’re more than memorabilia… they’re a piece of Panther Marching Band history. 🐾🎶
Please consider supporting the PMB today and helping us keep the tradition strong!
