The Maintaining the Tower fundraiser is held annually in the summer, and it is the main fundraiser within TarValon.Net. It was formerly called the Annual Fundraiser and the Summer Fundraiser but in 2014 the name was officially changed to Maintaining the Tower. This annual fundraiser is aimed to cover the operational expenses of the community, fund the Robert Jordan Memorial Scholarship, and ensure our ability to lock in the best pricing for future events. It is the monetary support that keeps our community functioning.
