Beneficiaries

A portion of proceeds from the Klamath Basin Oktoberfest will be donated to SMART Reading South Central and Klamath Ice Sports-Bill Collier Ice Arena.  Thank you to all our attendees who gladly attend the Klamath Basin Oktoberfest that allow us to give back to organizations that help make our community a better place.

The SMART Reading South Central Area team implements SMART Reading and raises funds to support SMART Reading in the Klamath Basin. In 2018-2019, we served 691 PreK through third-grade children with the help of 312 local volunteers. We are focused on recruiting more volunteers and establishing strong financial support among our communities to ensure we can continue this important work of empowering local children through reading.

Klamath Ice Sports will develop and provide wholesome winter-time activities and attractive facilities for ice  sports in the Klamath Basin, promoting participation by youth and families at a reasonable cost, in a beautiful year round multi-use pavilion setting.
