Leg Up Farm, Creative York, York Day Nursery, YMCA of York, and the Belmonte Theatre all received $10,000 to benefit to their programs that support children and families in the community. Creative York will have 160 scholarships available for children, which will enable them to participate summer camps, as well as art workshops and classes. The Belmont Theatre will use their funds for a new lighting system for their theatre. Lyn Bergdoll, Executive Director at the Belmont Theatre, stated, “The Belmont Theatre is truly grateful for the continued support from The Rutter’s Companies. Rutter’s makes it possible for us to continue to present state-of-the-art productions for the York Community and all of South-Central PA.”

The York Suburban Education Foundation and the Center for Dairy Excellence each received $5,000 to help support their programs for school-aged children. Both organizations will use their donations to continue providing services and educational programs in local schools.

To date in 2020, Rutter’s has donated nearly $500,000 to charities primarily focused on helping children in their communities. Rutter’s plans to announce several hundred thousand dollars more in donations to local charitable organizations, over the next two months.
