Booth Chairperson for St. Rita Fest
Purpose
Every year, over 50,000 people attend St. Rita Fest in July. The festival is one of the oldest and
largest in the tri-state area with over 100 booths of food, games, and rides for people of all ages.
The festival is the largest fundraiser for St. Rita School for the Deaf and provides financial aid and
scholarships to the students attending the school. In order for the event to be a success, the festival
committee needs to involve many volunteers to assure that the school can continue to provide quality
education to children 6 weeks to 21 years of age who are deaf and hard of hearing and for those children
who need special methods of communication or technological support.
