The Ben Event 2012

The Ben Yorgey Foundation is passionately dedicated to honoring the legacy of Ben Yorgey and generating funds for graduating high school students with special needs across the Lehigh Valley.  Ben was driven by an ultimate purpose -- to share his gift of love, and we are all changed people because of it.  And through this change, Ben Yorgey Foundation exists to make a positive impact, an impact Ben would be proud of.  Never meet a stranger.  There is no such thing.  Love everyone.

The Ben Yorgey Foundation, which is 501C3, was established in order to raise money to support our goals.  The annual vehicle for raising resources is THE BEN EVENT. The event is held in July of each year - Friday, July 20 and Saturday, July 21 this year - at Macungie Memorial Park
