This Event Has Been Canceled. Sorry for the inconvenience

July 2024

Dear Friends,

Since 1966, the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County has been working tirelessly to preserve and protect the architectural history of Lancaster County and to provide the tools and knowledge needed to help the local community understand its importance. An important part of this work is to educate on the importance of historic preservation. Part of that is educating and supporting our student interns who are crucial to the vitality and growth of the Trust.

We are asking for your help in supporting our student interns financially by being a sponsor of our ‘Ron Funk Intern Fund’ Fundraiser at Windswept Farm on September 7!

We created the Ron Funk Intern Fund in honor of Ronald E. Funk, former President and Board Member of the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County, with the help of his friends and fellow preservationists, Ernst Harting and Sue Loewenstein (owners of the beautiful and historic Windswept Farm in Robesonia, PA). Ron was a long-time supporter of historic preservation and of the Trust. We have created the Ron Funk Intern Fund in his name to help encourage students to experience historic preservation as a career option.

Ernst and Sue have graciously offered to host a fundraising event at their farm on Saturday, September 7, 2024 from 2-6 pm. The event will include a delicious BBQ Buffet from Rettew’s Catering, a mobile bar from Roaming Libations, and live music from the local Irish band, The Clovers. The cost to attend will be $75 for members of the Trust and $100 for non-members.

Please consider supporting this fundraiser by becoming a sponsor. There are five different levels of sponsorship that you can choose from and they include:

  • Food Sponsor - $2,000 – 4 free tickets to the event ($400 value); name and logo on all publicity and promotion for the event; name and logo on signs at the event; name recognition on social media, web- site and in person at the event.

With support from individuals and businesses such as you, the Trust can continue its important work for many more years to come and support the interns who will help us to do so!
