WAUKESHA, Wis. – June 26, 2025 — Generac Holdings (NYSE: GNRC), a leading global designer, manufacturer and provider of energy technology solutions and other power products, has announced its “Power Up with Purpose” fundraising initiative at Summerfest has successfully met its goal of $50,000. Dedicated to supporting ToolBank Disaster Services, this funding will enable the purchase and outfitting of a disaster-response tool trailer to aid communities in their recovery from natural disasters.
This fundraising initiative is possible through the sale of “Power Up with Purpose” pit passes at the Generac Power Stage with Miller High Life and Generac fundraising. Since its inception, the program has raised over $163,000 for charity - including 2025 funds collected so far - while fans have the opportunity to support a critical cause while enjoying shows by artists including Jacks’ Mannequin, The Head and the Heart, and, notably, The Psychedelic Furs on June 26 at summerfest.com
“This year clearly demonstrates the power of community engagement,” said Tami Garrison, Senior Director of Social Responsibility at Generac. “Together, we’ve empowered ToolBank to deliver real impact in disaster-struck communities across the country.”
ToolBank Disaster Services deploys tool-equipped trailers staffed by skilled personnel to assist with cleanup and rebuilding efforts at no cost to communities affected by natural disasters. This partnership is especially meaningful as it complements Generac’s longstanding role in disaster response – from providing backup power solutions that keep homes and businesses operational during outages, to deploying its dedicated Storm Response Team, supporting disaster relief organizations, and engaging employees in recovery efforts. By aligning with ToolBank, Generac further expands its commitment to helping communities rebuild both physically and economically in the wake of severe weather events.
“Thanks to Generac and Summerfest supporters, ToolBank Disaster Services will invest in a new trailer and numerous tools that will help us respond swiftly in disaster recovery zones. The impact of the support will echo throughout the country as we deploy equipment to help communities recover and restore hope,” Patty Russart, recently retired CEO of ToolBank USA, said.
Generac leadership and ToolBank representatives will mark the milestone with a check presentation at the Generac and ToolBank activity area across from the Generac VIP Deck on June 26, 2025, at 3:30 p.m., before The Psychedelic Furs performance at the Generac Power Stage.
Fans can continue to purchase pit passes each day for the two remaining weekends of Summerfest at the Power Up with Purpose activity area and help increase the funds that will be donated to ToolBank
