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.
