As part of Giving Tuesday, several CFC zones are collaborating to produce a Music Festival. The event will be pre-recorded and Live Streamed on Monday, November 30, from 3-7 pm.

The event is being promoted by the Greater New York (35), Eastern PA and Southern NJ (30), Western PA and West Virginia (33) and Southeast Virginia and Albemarle Bay (33) Zones. 

As a participating CFC charity, you are invited to provide a brief video to be included in the live stream. Since this is a music fest, they would love to see some creative submissions that include music (staff, volunteers, clients doing something musical). This is certainly not a requirement, it's just a way to fit into the overall theme of the event.

To participate, please use this form to submit your interest by Friday, November 13. They have slots for 16 charity videos. They will randomize the responses and confirm by Monday, November 16 if you have been selected. At that time, they will provide details on where to send the video.

There are several more CFC events inviting charity participation in the Cascadia CFC. Please click on the event to sign up for the event you are interested in. Charities will be selected at random and all will be contacted on status days before the event. Check out the Cascadia CFC calendar of events regularly for event additions.
