HARRISBURG, Pa. — MITER Foundation raised $175,000 from its annual summer concert, hosted on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in Millersburg, Pa.

This is the 12th year that MITER Foundation has hosted this popular community event. This year’s concert featured performances by E’vill Chris and The Badlees before a sold-out crowd of nearly 400 attendees. More than 30 MITER Foundation team members volunteered at the event, which also included raffles, an auction, and games to raise funds for local charities.

The record fundraising total from this year’s event will support MITER Foundation initiatives and causes, including heroes support, children’s well-being, cancer support, and community outreach.

“We’re thrilled to offer a fun, family concert for the community to enjoy while raising much-needed funds to support local veterans, children, and families,” said Megan Paul, MITER Foundation Concert Chair. “The Ned Smith Center is an amazing asset for our community.”

In addition to the annual event, MI Windows and Doors, part of the MITER Brands™ portfolio, sponsors the DeSoto Concert Series at the Ned Smith Center. The series wraps up this weekend with Don Jovi, a Bon Jovi tribute band.

Attendees bid on silent auction items, with proceeds supporting MITER Foundation causes.
