PAST "FUN"RAISER

Book drive brings in over 1700 books for the unemployed

The Karsyn Bell Pay It Forward Festival is a annual children's festival focusing on "Paying It Forward". We offer free "Make It - Take It" crafts and free or low cost entertainment and activities for children to do while showing them that they can make a difference by performing a random act of kindness for someone else.

This is our second year for the festival. Formally it was called the Bristol Pay It Forward Festival. After learning about 4 year old Karsyn Bell and her brave battle with brain cancer, we have decided to rename our festival in her honor to keep her memory alive for years to come.
Proceeds from the festival benefit nonprofit organizations in Bristol and the Michiana area
