Our History |
The Star Spangled Charity began in February 2016. This event started as an idea to provide local non-profits with an opportunity for fundraising while serving an unmet community need. Non-profit agencies rely heavily on fundraising efforts to achieve their goals, without needed financial support many non-profits would be placed at risk. It was important to the founding agencies to create a fundraising event that included the community and supported all missions simultaneously. The goal was to create an event that allowed community members to have fun and learn more about the services available in Indiana County, while giving back. Once the purpose was established and goals were outlined all aspects of the event seamlessly fell into place. The founding agencies started pulling together all of their resources and contacts to secure a venue, food vendors, activities, local bands for entertainment, sponsors, and volunteers to create an annual charity fair that allows people to celebrate Independence Day and support their community at the same time. In 2017, the group decided to change the name of the event to Star Spangled Celebration as this is a celebration of our independence and community.
