"Pioneer today announced that its Grand Carnival, presented by Pediatric Dental Group of New York, has surpassed $300,000 in total funds raised during its first seven years. The event, which welcomed over 800 people, has turned an annual day of family fun into sustained support for nonprofit organizations serving local children and families.
The Grand Carnival is the signature event of the Pioneer Charitable Foundation. Since the event began, 100% of the funds raised have gone directly to Capital Region nonprofit organizations supporting the health and welfare of local children, advancing the foundation’s mission of 'Helping Kids be Kids.'
'The Grand Carnival has become a special tradition because of the people who return year after year to make it possible,' said Tom Amell, President and CEO of Pioneer. 'We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, volunteers and families for helping us turn a fun community event into meaningful support for local children.'"
