JazzWealth and Madison Scouts Forge Innovative Sponsorship to Empower Youth Through Music and Financial Literacy

Forward Performing Arts, Inc., the parent organization of the Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps, proudly announces a groundbreaking sponsorship with Jazz Wealth, a modern investment management firm committed to making financial education accessible and actionable for young adults.

As part of this three-year agreement, Jazz Wealth becomes the Official Investment Partner of the Madison Scouts, launching a unique collaboration that supports both the financial foundation of the corps and the long-term success of its members.

“At JazzWealth, we believe in partnering with organizations that do more than entertain—they inspire, educate, and shape futures,” said Dustin Tiddbitts, President of Jazz Wealth. “The Madison Scouts exemplify the kind of mission-driven impact we want to support, and we’re excited to help these young performers build financial confidence and knowledge.”

The partnership includes:

  • The establishment of a $50,000+ investment account managed by Jazz Wealth for the C.H. Beebe Scholarship Fund, benefiting members with tuition financial need.
  • An annual financial basics class hosted by Jazz Wealth for Scouts performers and staff.
  • A one-year, no-fee investment account offer for eligible corps members and staff, including full access to Jazz Wealth’s extensive educational platform.
  • Prominent brand presence for Jazz Wealth at the corps’ marquee summer events, Drums on Parade and The Whitewater Classic.

“This isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about forming a values-based alliance that extends our mission beyond music and into life preparedness,” said Christopher Komnick, Executive Director of Forward Performing Arts. “We’re grateful for Jazz Wealth’s commitment and look forward to what we can accomplish together.”

The Madison Scouts, founded in 1920 and operating continuously since 1938, are one of the most historic and respected performing ensembles in the marching arts. This partnership represents a bold new chapter in their evolution—connecting the discipline of performance with the discipline of smart financial living.
