All donations in honor of Former Mayor Charlie Smithgall will receive a vintage “Friends of the Rocky Springs Carousel” certificate, and a receipt for tax purposes. The RSCA has been registered in Pennsylvania and with the IRS as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization since 2000. Our EIN # is 23-3009621. 

As an independent non-profit, with an all-volunteer Board, your donations provide the financial resources for us to achieve our mission: restoring our historic carousel to operation for the enjoyment of the entire Lancaster County community. We are still paying off a loan dating from 2002, that helped close the gap in funding to bring the carousel home to Lancaster. We have ongoing insurance, storage, and security costs. Many of the wooden components of the carousel would benefit from professional restoration, and 34 of our 48 animals have not yet been restored. Thank you for your support!
