Boney Music Memorial Fund
The Boney Music Memorial Fund has been established to support, promote and advance piping activities and events that were dear to Andrew Bonar.
It is intended for activities and events that involve advancement of young skilled pipers in traditional and creative competition environments, using piping to advance charitable causes, and to encourage piping performances to support the broad range of traditional and contemporary highland dances.
Examples include but are not limited to
- The Boney Music Invitational, a piping competition featuring the top Open pipers in the BC Pipers' Association Grand Aggregate standings to raise monies for brain cancer research for the BC Cancer Foundation
- The Competing Pipers' Association (CPA) Combined B&C Grade Piobaireachd event at the BCPA Annual Gathering, to enable young Open pipers to build their competitive CPA recognized track records at competitions in the BCPA region and in North America
- Encouraging pipers to learn the art of playing for highland dances and to encourage regular performances for highland dancing competitions
