The Dr. Benno P. Fritz Spirit Award is given annually to a GW Bands student who embodies the spirit of the late Dr. Fritz. We know students (and alumni!) participate in GW Bands solely for their love of music, but this is a great opportunity to give back to the most dedicated members and to support the legacy of Dr. Fritz.

Today is giving Tuesday and we’re asking you to consider a gift to GWUBAF. Your tax-deductible donation directly furthers our mission to provide educational and financial support to The George Washington University Band program and to promote life-long ties between alumni and the George Washington University Band program.

We also welcome your support growing the Dr. Benno P. Fritz Spirit Award Fund. The award is given annually to a student who embodies the spirit of the late Dr. Fritz. The award was fully funded in 2021 and additional donations to the fund will increase the award amount and open the possibility for multiple recipients each year. We know students participate in GW Bands solely for the love of music, but this is a great chance to give back to the most dedicated members and ensure the legacy of Dr. Fritz lives on.
