Fair Share Fundraising Program
Western Fair is happy to launch our third year of our Fair Share Program. Originally set-up specifically to support local school fundraisers, the program will expand to support additional registered non-profits with their fundraising efforts. The program is an excellent opportunity for your registered non-profit to raise funds while also giving families an opportunity to buy tickets to the Fair at the lowest prices available. For Fundraisers who qualify they can generate $ with every Ticket or Super Pass sold to assist in raising money for your programming, equipment or cause. Western Fair will donate $1 for every General Admission ticket sold, and $2 for every Super Pass (admission plus ride all day bracelet) sold through the Fair Share Fundraising Program.
