Some companies and some arts organizations write us a check because it supports their marketing objectives or their missions. Some businesses and some non-profit organizations donate their products, services, time and good will because they want us to succeed and because they benefit if we do. 

Many singers, songwriters and musicians agree to play at our festivals because they know that they will have a large, appreciative audience and they like the role we play in helping to generate that audience.

All that support is great, and, to some extent, obviously, expected--although certainly never taken for granted.  But we never expected and are continually amazed by the support of some people because they simply want to help.   Some individuals help us for many different reasons, some because it’s just fun and some because they have a friend or family member involved.

No matter why you help, we just want you to know that we appreciate it.  We are humbled by your friendship and your trust.  Thank you.
