Your support keeps heritage alive
For more than 65 years, the Cleveland Junior Tamburitzans has been a celebration of family, Croatian culture, and community. Our success wouldn't be possible without the dedication of our families and the incredible support of friends and patrons like you.
Your generosity helps us continue to create memories and connections that last a lifetime. It truly takes a village to keep Croatian heritage alive, especially for a group as lively and passionate as CJT.
Our volunteer Board of Trustees, parents, and families work hard to raise funds for essential needs — instruments and costumes — things that make our performances special and authentic. Many of our kids start as young as five years old and stay with us through high school, growing up with traditions they'll carry forever.
Your donations also support our Scholarship Fund, which we present each year at our Annual Concert to help our graduating seniors as they move on to the next stage of their lives.

Making a real difference
Authentic Costumes
Beautiful handcrafted regional costumes are more than outfits — they're symbols of the culture we celebrate. We're currently working on replacing aging costumes.
Quality Instruments
Tamburitza instruments are the heartbeat of our performances. Your support helps us maintain and replace instruments so our musicians can shine.
Senior Scholarships
Each year at our Annual Concert, we award scholarships to graduating seniors who have grown up with CJT, honoring their dedication to Croatian heritage.
