Become a Friend of the Fair

We invite the community to be a part of a team effort to support the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, so it can continue to serve as a home for Emergency Services, the Fair & Special Events.

Dear Community Leaders and Friends of the Fair,

The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds relies on charitable gifts and support of our Fair and its programs from friends like you.

This year we hope you will join our crusade in supporting the Fairgrounds to supplement the funds the State will not subsidize.

Please help us meet our funding priority to be able to continue to operate and provide you with community assets that promote family values, and preserve our farming heritage.

The Fairgrounds is an invaluable asset to the community. It is the home for Emergency Services for flood, earthquake, and fire.

The Santa Cruz County Fairground operates all year long providing:

This vital community asset wouldn’t exist at all without philanthropy. We rely on charitable gifts from friends like you to maintain our programs, create new ones, and promote family values.
