- The 3rd Annual DJP Fall Festival, will take place Sunday Oct.8th from 12-5 PM at Graeme Park in Horsham, PA. This family oriented fundraiser features plenty of kids activities/games, raffle baskets, food, music and more. This is the primary fundraiser for the The Daniel J Paryzch Memorial Fund. The Daniel J Parzych Memorial Fund, a registered 503c non profit, was started in July 2020 by family and close friends of Dan Parzych (Council Rock North High School graduate of 2005) who was tragically taken from us too soon. We are a non-profit that supports local causes and needs that align with four pillars central to Dan's life: community, family, sports, and animals. We seek to make small, impactful differences with great love. Become A Sage Volunteer - Your time and experience are valuable to the community. We can match you with a volunteer position. That will make the most of both!
