Commission signs off on county donation and logistical support for Milford Motor Festival fundraiser
Summary
County staff and commissioners approved a request from festival organizers to support the Milford Motor Festival open house and wreath/tree fundraiser for Primary Children’s Hospital; event dates were given and the county agreed to process payment as requested.
Organizers of the Milford Motor Festival told Beaver County commissioners on Oct. 7 they will hold an open house to raise funds for Primary Children’s Hospital and requested county assistance to process a donation and logistical support.
An organizer described plans for a Nov. 4 open house at Milford High School’s small gym (donated homemade items available for purchase), with a larger tree-and-wreath sale at the Mountain American Expo Center in December. The organizer said proceeds would be donated directly to Primary Children’s Hospital and cited last year’s committee fundraising of more than $20,000.
County staff and commissioners discussed how to make the festival’s requested donation payable. The organizers identified the payee name as “Carabola” (as read in the materials) and asked the commission to make the donation payable to that entity. Commissioners agreed to accept the request and approved the payment-processing motion during the meeting; staff said they would confirm details and follow up if any additional information was needed.
Organizers also reviewed event logistics including venues in Milford and Minersville and noted earlier changes in venue due to growth of the event. Commissioners thanked volunteers and praised the fundraiser’s volunteer base and history of support for primary-care children’s services in the region.
