Rapid City's Allied Arts Fund kicked off a month-long fundraising campaign Tuesday with a boom.
The Central High School drum-line took to Main Street Square late Tuesday morning to signal the start of the second March for the Arts campaign.
It's a concerted effort by the arts group to raise money for the groups they support throughout the next month.
Through mailings, advertising, and sponsored events like a Rush hockey game in a week and a half, the Allied Arts Fund hopes to raise $120,000.
"An idea was conceived by the board of directors and put together and kind of deciding we need to do a better job of marketing ourselves and marketing the arts here and bring up people's awareness," said Patrick O'Leary, the board's president.
