Charity

The proceeds accumulated by the Nicholas Hurlbut Memorial Fund will be donated to The Carpenter Hospice in Burlington. The Carpenter Hospice is run by a dedicated team of remarkable volunteers and staff who provide palliative care and support services to the dying and their families. This invaluable organization relies heavily on donations from the community in order to function. Although the Nicholas Hurlbut Memorial fund is established in conjunction with Brofest, it will be active and available year round with proceeds being donated to The Carpenter Hospice on an annual basis.

* In the past, an honourarium was given to Burlington YMCA for their generous support in making this event possible. They have used their donation towards the maintence of the facilities as well as the Strong Kids campaign. Throughout the years, the YMCA has always been very supportive of developing talent and has provided a venue for concerts. This year we have made a decision to hold the event in a bigger venue outside of the YMCA to allow for a larger attendance. The 247 Live venue is a fully functional live music hall with impecable sound quality - we encourage you to check it out.
