Local band Groove Prophet takes to the bandstand to benefit Groundworks Collaborative
BRATTLEBORO – Groundworks Collaborative presents the fourth annual Camp for a Common Cause, 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; however 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 favorite rock and R&B cover band) returns to provide live music from 6-8pm, and festival food will be available for purchase starting at 6pm. 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. Great prizes will be awarded to the top fundraisers. Campers may begin setting up tents on the Common from 4pm on Friday, May 20th and are asked to pack up by 10am on Saturday, May 30th after a light breakfast.
Campers, and those wishing to make a contribution to a participating camper or team, should visit GroundworksVT.org. Donations can also be mailed to: Groundworks Collaborative, PO Box 370, Brattleboro, VT 05302 (with checks payable to Groundworks Collaborative – please write Camp in the subject line.)
