Support Montgomery 4-H Extension Program

The Cake Auction is the largest annual fundraiser for the Montgomery County 4-H. Every year, youth who win first prize with their cakes at the Montgomery County Fair showcase those cakes in a live auction where the community shows their support and bids as much as $5,000 on each cake. Annually, this auction raises nearly $40,000, that are used to expand resources, provide scholarships, create new programs, and support our 4-H youth in their endeavors. These supporters consist of program alumni, community businesses, and 4-H families.

With your support, we can continue to grow the impact of this cherished tradition. Your generosity and encouragement help our 4-H members build confidence, develop leadership skills, and pursue their passions. Together, we’re not just raising funds—we’re investing in the future of Montgomery County’s youth.
