Beneficiary
Each year, the
festival committee reviews applications from many area charitable organizations,
and selects a beneficiary for the event. The selected organization(s)
then provide volunteers and other support to the committee to conduct
the event. Substantially all of the net proceeds are then given to the
beneficiary organization.
This year will
benefit the Wolfeboro Lions Club Fuel Assistance Program, providing
needed heating assistance to Wolfeboro and Tuftonboro residents.
