Donate to help a local student battling cancer
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In 2024, an estimated 15,000 children were diagnosed with cancer in the United States.
One of those children fighting is Clysia, a student in the Antietam School District. She has been receiving care at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
We’ll be accepting cash donations at the Antietam Valley Farmers Markets on September 8 and 22 to help battle her cancer. All contributions are appreciated!

Who we are. Why we care.
In 2011, a group of enthusiastic community members founded the Antietam Valley Community Partnership (AVCP) with the goal of improving the quality of life in the Antietam Valley and surrounding area. Each year we have seen positive changes in the image, spirit, character, and pride within our community. It is our hope that you share this same spirit and goal.
