Proceeds from the Half Pot will benefit the VU Jasper Scholastic Excellence Fund, providing a year of full tuition, a $500 book stipend, and a laptop for scholarship recipients. Funds will also help offset festival expenses, support local non-profits, and strengthen the foundation for the future growth of both the Strassenfest and the Jasper community.
