Since the festivals inception in 2006, over $250,000 has been put back into the community, including a defibrillator that was purchased for the Hamburg Township Fire Department that saved a woman’s life. Other beneficiaries around the community have included playground upgrades and maintenance at Bennett Park, a donation to the Serenity Garden at the Hamburg Township Library, construction of a runway at Bennett Park to assist the Hamburg R/C Flyers and funding of the Explorers program through the Hamburg Township Police Department.
It is also a source of pride that the festival is made 100% possible by community volunteers who are lead by H.E.R.O. – the Hamburg Enhanced Recreation Organization and their Board of Directors.
