Project Overview: The proposed project aims to support the Milford Memories Summer Festival,
which has been a community staple for 32 years. The sponsorship funds will be allocated towards
the Kids Central booth, providing goodies for children, and snacks for over 600 dedicated
volunteers. The festival serves as a platform for community organizations to raise funds and
promote themselves, while also showcasing the Huron Valley community to thousands of visitors.

Commissioners (BOC): $5,000
Detailed Timeline for Implementation: August 9-11, 2024
Detail on Possible Funding Partners or Matching Funds: While the sponsorship funds will
primarily support the Kids Tent and Volunteers, the Milford Memories Summer Festival benefits from
multiple sponsors/partners to ensure the event remains free for all attendees.
Anticipated Impact of the Project and Evaluation: The project will benefit over 300,000 festival-
goers from the region by providing a platform for art, food, music, and community engagement over
the three-day event. Success will be evaluated based on attendee satisfaction, volunteer feedback,
and the overall community impact.
