About the Joel G. Garrison Trust Fund
Grants from the Joel G. Garrison Trust Fund are made
possible by the foresight, generosity and compassion of
Mr. Garrison, and his desire to ensure that children in
the City of Williamsport would have a day in which they
could enjoy entertainment and refreshment.
Mr. Garrison was remembered as a kind man, who took
joy out of helping children in need. A veteran of the
Spanish-American War, Joel Garrison chose to designate
August 13, a date that corresponds with the end of the
war in 1898, as the day in which children would benefit
from his gift to the community.
Grant Size
