For the past two years, The Fresh Brews of Mount Joy brought our community together for a day of fun, friendship, and support for local businesses, but what many people may not realize is just how much this event gives back to Mount Joy. ๐ปโค๏ธ
Fresh Brews has become the largest fundraising event to date in Mount Joy, and because of the incredible support from attendees, sponsors, breweries, volunteers, and our community, weโve been able to reinvest thousands of dollars back into causes that directly benefit our town.
One of our amazing event partners is the Donegal Athletic Club (DAC), whose volunteers help make this event possible each year. In return, a portion of the proceeds from Fresh Brews is donated back to support their organization. Last year, after all event expenses were paid, we proudly donated $4,000 to DAC. Despite rainy weather impacting attendance this year, we were still thrilled to donate $3,000 to continue supporting local student athletes and programs. ๐
Fresh Brews has also allowed us to create a new annual $2,500 scholarship for a Donegal High School senior. Last evening, we had the honor of presenting this scholarship for the very first time at the Donegal Awards Banquet to this yearโs recipient, Kathryn Gehman. ๐
In addition, we were able to donate $500 to American Legion Post 185 to help purchase new flags that will proudly line Main Street. ๐บ๐ธ
The impact doesnโt stop there. Funds from Fresh Brews also help Voyage Mount Joy continue promoting our town, incredible small businesses and supporting community events like National Night Out and many other initiatives throughout the year.
We understand that not everyone agrees with events of this nature, but we hope posts like this help show the positive impact Fresh Brews has had on our community. At its core, this event is about bringing people together and creating opportunities to give back to Mount Joy in meaningful ways.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Fresh Brews of Mount Joy and the work we do throughout our community. We couldnโt do it without you! ๐ป
