Hilltop Jamboree is a carnival where local businesses and student organizations from both Cornell and Ithaca College set up and host booths with exciting activities such as face-painting and arts and crafts. The 1st Annual Hilltop Jamboree was held on April 29, 2006 and raised $1250 for the following child welfare agencies in Tompkins County:

  • Tompkins Community Action
    A long-standing local effort to improve the lives of low-income children, families, and individuals in Tompkins County
  • Day Care and Child Development Council of Tompkins County
    A local umbrella resource group that promotes the healthy development of children & families in Tompkins County
  • Ithaca's Saturday Science and Math Academy
    A grassroots neighborhood initiative that runs science and math learning initiatives for minority students on Saturday Mornings

In addition to raising money the carnival is meant to build a bridge between Cornell, Ithaca College, and the Ithaca community. The 2nd Annual Hilltop Jamboree stands to be an even larger success than last year. We are expecting over 500 attendees and have expanded the number of booth activities, dance and music performances, and carnival games.

We would like to extend a very special Thank You to our sponsors, booth participants, and performers:
