About
In 2024, the American Cancer Society estimates there will be 2 million new diagnoses of cancer in the United States. Beyond the physical and emotional toll, cancer can cause financial hardship, especially when a patient is forced to take time off to recover. Ten years ago, we did something to help change that – and have some fun along the way.
Since then, we’ve brought together our favorite local bands with national touring acts like Noah Kahan and X Ambassadors for a day of good music, good vibes, and good causes. We’ve hosted thousands of attendees on our lawn and have raised nearly $415,000 for Branches of Hope, a fund that provides financial support to local cancer patients with extraordinary expenses.
In celebration of our 10th anniversary, we’re honored to support Vermont’s largest social service organization, Howard Center, as a second beneficiary. Howard Center helps communities thrive by providing support and services to address mental health, substance use, and developmental needs.
All donations for Do Good Fest will be split between Branches of Hope and Howard Center's youth mental health programs.
