Fleetwood, Pennsylvania was founded in 1873. Over the years, many organizations and individuals contributed to make the town the special place it is. FLEETWOOD'S FINEST is a new tradition that honors organizations and individuals who have made a lasting impression on Fleetwood. The first FLEETWOOD'S FINEST SPRING GALA was held on March 8, 2025. THE FLEETWOOD CADILLAC AWARD for extraordinary community service was awarded to the FLEETWOOD VOLUNTEER FIRE CO. THE FLEETWOOD HOMETOWN HERO AWARD was awarded to Barney Dietrich, Ernie Fink and R. Joel Schaeffer for building the Little League Field in 1965 with the Fleetwood Jaycees. See the tribute videos below from the 2025 FLEETWOOD'S FINEST SPING GALA.

Tiger Nation
The Tiger Nation committee is inviting the borough, businesses, groups, and individuals to celebrate through the arts. Our goal is to beautify our community with artistically created life-size sculptures of the school district’s tiger mascot and to allow members of the business community, the school district, and the citizenry to learn more about one another in appreciation of the any skills, abilities and creative gifts available and the support provided within the community. Working together and having fun, establishing friendship bonds among the many groups within the community, is an important part of our mission.
To Sponsor a Tiger:
For any individual, business or organization to sponsor one of the tigers will cost between $3,100.00 and $3,500.00, depending on which model is selected. The price covers expenses: fabrication of the tiger, shipping and handling, stipend to the artist, clear coating, promotional and sponsorship expenses incurred by the Friends of Fleetwood Park through the Tiger Nation Initiative. All checks are made payable to: Friends of Fleetwood Park. NOTE: Installation of the tiger at a designated location is not available through Tiger Nation project; materials for installation and arrangements must be made by the sponsor. Tiger Nation can recommend details and individuals to facilitate installation. Sponsors assume responsibility for the care and upkeep of finished tiger sculptures.
