Although Festival admission is free, donations are appreciated. A $2 donation gets a numbered wristband that makes

businesses. Wristbands may be purchased at festival entry
points or at information tables. There will also be an inflatable slide for young children, who can slide all afternoon
with a wristband. After the event, Wristband Raffle winning

There will be a $500 cash prize given away in the Haverford Music Festival Cash Raffle. Raffle ticket sales teams will

$10. The Cash Raffle drawing will take place at about 8:15
p.m. on the Field Stage. Winner need not be present. The
winning Cash Raffle ticket number will be posted the website after the event.
Organized by the Haverford Township Civic Council, all
proceeds from the Haverford Music Festival support special township projects. To date, more than $30,000 has been
distributed among several worthy community organizations,
including Haverford High School’s Jazz Residency Program,
the Grange Estate’s outdoor amphitheater, Haverford Township’s Adult School and Music Works, a township nonprofit
program that seeks to bring music therapy to children, seniors and all individuals in the Delaware Valley. The friends
of Haverford Trails, Haverford Township’s Dog Park and Kelly
Music for Life have also benefited from the festival proceeds.
“With the exception of security, the music festival is staffed 100 percent with volunteers and to run an event of this
magnitude we need many,” stresses volunteer coordinator
Peggy Murr. “The positions are as diverse as working with
the bands to selling concert merchandise. In past years, folks
of all ages have stepped up to volunteer, including teens
and seniors, and all are welcome. Often, teens need community service hours for their school programs (honor
society entrance, etc.), and the music festival is the perfect
fit. A priority at this juncture is staffing the later shifts: 2:30
- 6 p.m. and 6 - 9:30 p.m.” To sign up, please go online to
www.haverfordmusicfestival.org/volunteering/.

Facebook page for more information about Haverford Music
Festival 2014 where, as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
would say, “A splendid time is guaranteed for all! We hope
you will enjoy the show!”
