Our annual PalterGeist fundraiser is back! This fundraiser is in memory of our friend and family member, John Palter, and benefitting Junior Players.

In acknowledgment of the severe weather we have had at this event in past years, we have made the decision to move our PalterGeist fundraiser to the virtual world (mostly), which means you and your friends can participate at any time through October and November 2025, indoors or outdoors, the choice is yours! You can participate in this fundraiser in two main ways:

  1. Do your own bike ride with friends in honor of John Palter and tag us on social media! All tags will be responded to and reposted and will help bring attention to this event and, in turn, help us raise much needed funds for Junior Players!

  2. Make a donation online! We have an incredible opportunity - a generous donor as agreed to match every dollar you donate, dollar for dollar, up to $4,000! That means if you give $50, it becomes $100. If you give $100, it turns into $200—all to support Junior Players. Make a donation below to DOUBLE your impact! 

The funds raised by this ride will not only help Junior Players continue to empower young voices and transform kids' lives through the arts, but will support a memorial college scholarship(s) for one or more of our teen participants in our summer Shakespeare production.
