Supporting sick kids with medical expenses is the goal of the Little Valley Jamboree.
Taking place tomorrow and Sunday, this family-friendly festival offers live entertainment, great food, and a chance to help children in need.
Evelyn Lewandoski, is one of the organizers, and she says all the money raised goes to support families with medical bills.
“Most people have healthy children, and some of them never hear about all these children that are born with these different things that sometimes doctors can’t even put a name on them and how to treat them. So it’s very time consuming, very expensive for the parents to travel back and forth to doctors and they get sent here, they get sent there.”
Lewandoski explains how the money is used to support these kids.
“The children all have a trust fund that once the money is divided up and they are given the money. It’s in the trust fund, for medical expenses, and that’s about it. We don’t give all our money away every year. We just save a little bit in case we come across a child during the winter months that maybe we can help out.”
This year there are three kids who the fundraiser is going to support and help them get the therapies & treatments they need.
Lewandoski stresses that the jamboree is completely volunteer run and all money raised goes towards supporting these kids in need.
