“This is a wonderful opportunity to reward students that would like to pursue agriculture,” said Ibolya Balog, foundation trustee and scholarship committee chair.

The foundation readily accepts donations to support initiatives like this, and donation information is also available at allentownfairfoundation.org.

Agriculture has long been, and continues to be, a major driver of Pennsylvania’s economy — and its largest industry — providing more than $84 billion in direct economic output and supporting more than 280,000 jobs.

The field of agriculture is diverse and has opportunities everywhere — from growing crops to rearing animals, from organics, sustainability and farm-to-table, to canning, wine making and wool production.

The Great Allentown Fair Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization chartered in 2019 as a charitable organization founded by supporters of Lehigh County Agricultural Society.

The mission of the foundation is to provide philanthropic opportunities through grants and charitable donations to preserve, enrich and advance agriculture.
