The 2023 Milford Memories Non-Profit Groups include the following:

American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

Established in 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death.

AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss. AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies:

• Funding scientific research
• Educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention
• Advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention
• Supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide

Serenity Canine Advocacy Rescue & Rehab

We are a non-profit located out of Grand Blanc, serving all areas including Oakland County. Our mission is to provide care and to help future pups.

International Cultural Exchange Services

International Cultural Exchange Services will be at Milford Memories all weekend seeking welcome families for our exchange students from all over the world. Hosting is fun and easy, and all types of families qualify - single parents, same sex couples, families with or without children, empty nesters, animal lovers, etc. We have male and female students from all different countries that have the same interests and hobbies as you and are waiting to share their culture with you! Your commitment can be as little as 6-8 weeks as a welcome family (which can convert to a full year if you wish), a semester (Aug to Dec), or a school year (Aug to June). Our students have their own money and health insurance, so you only need to provide them a place to stay and study and meals at home. You can learn all about another culture without even leaving home, or you can travel to your student's home country in the future and continue building on the relationship you build here!!

United Veterans of Michigan

UVM was founded in 2019 to help our national heroes enjoy the great outdoors. Since forming we have taken over 100 Veterans, Active Duty, Gold and Blue Star family members on fishing and hunting excursions at no expense to them. We are a local 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit where 100% of your donation goes to benefit our Veterans suffering from emotional, financial or physical difficulties. With your help we can reach more service men and women, stop by to say HI.

Milford Rotary Foundation

Welcome to Milford Memories and to Milford, Michigan!  We are very proud of our town and love to show it off.  As members of the Milford Rotary Club, we are a part of an international network of like-minded community leaders and "people of action" that focus on making our world/country/community a better place.  We would love to tell you more about that at our table…. But more importantly, we want to help YOU protect your little ones while you are here at our amazing festival.  Stop by our table and we will give you a wristband for your child that you can write your cell number on.  If they do get lost, anyone with a phone can call you and help you reunite.  This is our service to you and again Welcome to Milford!

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9914

Our goal is to provide an inviting place for our members where they can freely discuss VFW and veterans’ issues. We understand first-hand the essence of rallying community support and the positive, life-changing impact we have on the world around us. That's why VFW members volunteer more than 9 million hours to community service projects annually, with volunteerism benefiting morale, education, the environment, health sciences and civic projects.

Huron Valley American Veterans Post 2006/Blue Star Mothers of America

"Have Fun, Do Good" is the motto of the Huron Valley American Veterans, Post 2006. Fifteen of our members are on the Honor Guard Funeral Team. They fold the flag and present, fire three rifle volleys and play taps. Eighteen of our member are on the Color Guard Team. They lead parades, open sports events, attend grad openings, and visit our Huron Valley Schools during Veterans Week. They intermingle with both the children and their parents in our area sharing stories and answering questions.

These groups will be on site for the entire festival to show off their groups and collect donations to help support their causes. Please help support the causes of our Non-Profit groups! We thank you for your support!
