From Eliada Homes:

Eliada Homes is pleased to announce the results of our 2014 Eliada Corn Maze!

The Maze, which ran for 9 weeks, raised $178,000, 100% of which will be used to care for the more than 500 children who need Eliada’s services each year.

More than 21,800 children and adults attended the Maze this year, not including children under 4 years old.
