BRATTLEBORO — Groundworks Collaborative presents the fourth annual Camp for a Common Cause on Friday, May 20, on the Brattleboro Common.
For the past three years, this event has been a joint fundraiser for Morningside Shelter and the Brattleboro Area Drop In Center. The two organizations merged last June, creating Groundworks Collaborative.
The family-friendly one-night campout continues to successfully raise awareness around homelessness in the greater Brattleboro area.
Groove Prophet, a local rock and R&B cover band, returns to provide live music from 6 to 8 p.m., and festival food from Top of the Hill Grill and Ben & Jerry's will be available for purchase starting at 6 p.m. All are welcome to enjoy the food and music, whether camping or not.
Participating campers are asked to raise a suggested minimum of $100 per person, or $250 per team to support Groundworks' efforts to house our neighbors experiencing homelessness. All contributions are fully tax-deductible. Prizes will be awarded to the top fundraisers.
Campers may begin setting up tents on the Common at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 20, and are asked to pack up by 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 21, after a light breakfast.
