Dear Steel Goat Marketplace Vendors,
As we continue to grow and support each other, we’re excited to announce a new fundraising initiative that not only gives back to our local schools but also creates a great opportunity for us to connect with more customers from the Penn Hills community. This November, Steel Goat Marketplace will be hosting a fundraiser in support of the Music, Art, and Theater programs at the Penn Hills School District. These programs foster creativity, which is at the heart of what we do here at the marketplace, and we believe that supporting young, local talent is a wonderful way to give back.
Why This Fundraiser Matters
As a marketplace filled with creators, artisans, and small business owners, we are united by our passion for the arts and creativity. By supporting these student programs, we are aligning ourselves with the very essence of what we represent. This fundraiser is a chance to give back to the students who are the future artists, musicians, and performers of our community.
Beyond that, this initiative offers us a way to connect with the wider Penn Hills community—parents, families, and local residents who may not yet know about Steel Goat Marketplace. By raising money and awareness for their children’s programs, we’re giving people a reason to visit us and discover the amazing, unique offerings we have here.
How This Helps YOU
This is not just a fundraiser—it’s an opportunity for us to invite new customers into the marketplace. Supporting local schools will resonate with parents, teachers, and families in the area, encouraging them to come out and shop during our fundraiser weekends. Increased foot traffic means more visibility for your business and products.
Vendor Participation Opportunity: Raffle Baskets
We’re extending an invitation to each of you to participate in this fundraiser by contributing a raffle basket. Not only will this support the fundraiser, but it’s also a chance to showcase your work.
