Beneficiary
Each year, the
festival committee reviews applications from area 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 marks
the tenth aniversary of the Festival. To commemorate this milestone,
the proceeds of this year's Festival will be divided among the beneficiaries
of the first nine years and the Wright Museum.
