Our story
August Open is built on a simple idea: every great cause deserves to be seen. We use our events to shine a spotlight on charities doing important work, so more people learn about them, get behind them and help them grow.
Our mission
– Help people– Bring the community together– Create a memory
Help people. We all go through tough times in life, and we truly believe in being there for others when they need it most. Each year, we stand behind one charity that does exactly that.
Bring the community together. We believe in bringing our community together to help out. When a community comes together for the same cause, it can achieve the impossible.
Create a memory. Everyone should leave our events with a great memory. A new friendship, a good laugh, a keepsake to hold on to, and a day you'll look back on and remember how much fun it was.
A fund of the Luzerne Foundation
August Open is a fund held at the Luzerne Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity. That means every gift is managed by an established community foundation.
Funds raised through August Open support the charity we've chosen as that year's beneficiary.
