A group dedicated to helping non-profit organizations was among the vendors at the Park Avenue Fest.

Stephanie Shirley created Katie Shirley's Closet in memory of her daughter. Katie was one of five girls killed in a car crash more than two years ago.

This year, Katie's Closet is selling jewelery to help benefit Daystar, a non-profit daycare for infants with serious illnesses.

Stephanie says setting up shop at festivals is a great way to help non-profits.

"We did Canal Days at Fairport, and we did very well, and so we opted to take on the challenge of Park Avenue," said Stephanie. "We've made enough inventory, and it's been a great experience."

Stephanie hoped to raise about $12,000 over the entire weekend.
