In 1962, the community came together to raise funds to bring CentraState Hospital to the area. The event has been marked every year since with the annual Celebration Ball, where the Ball Queen will be crowned.

MacDonald and the Marlboro Fire Department have held several events since June, including a comedy night and a dine-to-donate event at Fireside.
