The Beiler Family

Thank you for your generous donations. This fundraiser has ended, but any further donations can be made to the Northwest Savings Bank (Centre Hall, PA) account set up to assist the Beiler family.

The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau (HVAB) and the Chamber of Business & Industry of Centre County (CBICC), on behalf of the Happy Valley Agventures initiative, have established a Go Fund me campaign for a local Amish family – Potter Township resident Esther Beiler and her children.

Esther’s husband, Andy, and two teenage sons were killed in a tragic farming accident on Sept. 21, 2022. Six months earlier, another teenage son also died in an accident on the family farm.

Esther has six remaining children, four of whom are still at home.

This unimaginable tragedy has touched the staff of the HVAB and CBICC, and many in the community. Our Amish culture is a unique and important part of the fabric of Centre County’s rich agricultural heritage. We value our Amish neighbors, and wish to extend more than our sympathies to Esther and her children in this difficult time of need.

Happy Valley Agventures provided $5,000 in seed money for the fundraising campaign. The HVAB and CBICC are encouraging the community to help complete a fundraising goal of $20,000 for the Beiler family.
