Last week, a group of ArtsQuest volunteers gathered at Coca-Cola Park to cheer on the Lehigh Valley IronPigs as they took on the Worcester Red Sox.

Recently, the volunteer team and volunteer committee had the opportunity to tour the ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Donna Passno. Donna is known for her incredible flexibility and willingness to volunteer for nearly any event or shift. She is a familiar face at the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas, where she regularly volunteers on Wednesdays. Last year, Donna was one of the few volunteers who volunteered all 11 days of Musikfest, and she plans to do it again this year.

My name is Santos Martinez and I’m a 22-year-old from Bethlehem.  I grew up with a big family with 3 siblings, and some of my favorite memories have always centered around the community and events that make Bethlehem special. One of the biggest parts of my life has been Musikfest! Ever since I was young, Musikfest has been a tradition for my family, bringing us together every August and creating memories that have stayed with me throughout my life.  

At this year’s 10th anniversary ceremony, one of our own is being honored. We couldn’t be prouder of Ronda Senior, the 2026 Volunteer of the Year honoree. Please join us in congratulating Ronda on this monumental and well-deserved achievement.

Tom is the kind of volunteer you can always count on, no matter what the task. A longtime ArtsQuest Ambassador and member of our 1,000-hour volunteer club, Tom consistently goes above and beyond while always looking for ways to make the experience even better for his fellow volunteers.
