The awarding of grants is in line with Pennington Day’s mission of furthering the Hopewell Valley’s community spirit and identity as a community and enhancing its quality of life. Pennington Day also provides community groups, civic organizations and businesses an opportunity to inform the community of their mission and allow these organizations to raise funds through their sponsorship of Pennington Day events and/or the booths they set up. The last part of Pennington Day’s mission is to disburse any funds in excess of expenses to charitable organizations within the Hopewell Valley.
