We are proud to support the Voorheesville Community and School Foundation and their upcoming Summer Stakes fundraiser taking place on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

The Voorheesville Community and School Foundation works to strengthen our community by funding meaningful educational, extracurricular, and community-based initiatives that directly benefit local students and organizations.
