COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (October 6, 2026) — The Sarge LLC announced today the launch of a GoFundMe campaign to raise $25,000 for the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) Music Department, with 100% of proceeds donated directly to the department.

The fundraiser is tied to Bust Out The Box #13: UCCS Music Night, a charity concert set for Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 7 PM to midnight at the Wagon Wheel Sports Bar & Concert Hall in Colorado Springs. The event features an all-UCCS-music-student lineup — including the UCCS Jazz Band, Brometheus, DitchNymph, Ambi, Aspen Sound, Juaniee, and The Sarge — performing across jazz, EDM, R&B, hip hop, rock, and indie.

"UCCS has been an amazing part of my life," said Michael "The Sarge" Ung, U.S. Army Infantry veteran, UCCS music major, and CEO of The Sarge LLC. "Every year I try to do a charity event. This year, I'm donating to the department that gave me a home."

In addition to the concert, the event will host a toys and collectibles drive benefiting D11 Palmer High School and D11 Wasson High School.

Tickets are $20 at the door and $5 for UCCS students, with discounted presales available on Eventbrite. Drink specials will run all night, with a mocktail menu for guests under 21. The event is 18+.
