After 10 years of service, an Evansville non-profit organization says "thank you" to the community. Boom Squad, Incorp. held a celebration tonight to honor the donors and volunteers who have impacted the oranization. Boom Squad is a drum line involving more than 200 kids that teaches the art of percussion instruments. It also is a program that combats juvenile delinquency and focuses on academic achievement.

"These kids, I know several of them would be out on the streets," said Event Coordinator Avil Miller. "Several of them came to us homeless. Several would continue to be "F" students and "D" students. So, we basically impact these students lives in so many ways."

Boom Squad also unveiled its 2013 fundraising campaign, asking 2,013 people to donate $10 to the program.

You can mail a donation to P.O. Box 3902, Evansville, IN 47737 or visit the organization's website at http://www.boomsquadinc.com/
