Since its inception in 2021, the Independence Day Festival has donated over $500,000 to the community.
“The Independence Day Festival is more than just a celebration, it’s an opportunity to bring our community together while making a real impact,” said Paul and Lisa DeAngelo. “We are proud to continue supporting causes that are so important to our family and the community.” They added, “As the number of requests to our Foundation continues to grow, we remain committed to raising the funds needed to meet the increasing needs of our community so that we can continue to make a meaningful difference.”
In addition to the festival, the Foundation also announced the upcoming DeAngelo Fall Classic Golf Tournament, scheduled for Friday, September 18 at Sugarloaf Golf Course. Businesses who sponsor both events will receive a 15% discount on select sponsorship opportunities.
