Where does the money go? One of the main questions asked about our festival is "where does the money go?".
All proceeds, (with the exception of 11% kept in reserve for emergencies & start-up for the next year's festival), from the National Apple Harvest Festival go back into the community & to other local, state & national charitable organizations with the bulk staying local. 49% goes toward funding Oakside Community Park, a 92 acre park located in Biglerville, PA, owned by the Upper Adams Jaycees. The park is open to the public. 20% goes to the Upper Adams Jaycees, sponsor of the festival to fund their many community projects such as a community Easter Egg Hunt, movie nights in the park, food boxes & gifts to less fortunate families at Christmas, Special Olympics volleyball, a fish rodeo, along with donations to organizations & families in need. The remaining 20% is donated to civic, school, church, scouting organizations, fire companies, & others. The pie chart shows our breakdown. So when you visit our festival, you are supporting numerous organizations & groups, too many to individually list. Presented by: |
