In its 10th anniversary and born out of the company’s “Do good, Be good and Make good” values, the National Life Group Do Good Fest has brought national acts to the back lawn of its Montpelier campus every year since 2014 (except two pandemic years) in support of issues and efforts that matter most to its communities.
Advance tickets are required. Tickets can be reserved here for a minimum donation of $5 each.
All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Branches of Hope, the cancer patient fund at Central Vermont Medical Center’s National Life Cancer Treatment Center and Howard Center, providing mental health, substance use treatment, and developmental services with many programs specific to children and youth in family, residential, educational, and community settings.
In addition to the music, Do Good Fest will also have food trucks, a beer garden, an exclusive VIP lounge, and a Nonprofit Village where festival attendees can learn about local causes and how they contribute to the vitality of the community. The event will be capped with the Fest’s famous fireworks display.
National Life is once again partnering with Star 92.9 and WCAX Channel 3 to present the National Life Group Do Good Fest on the company’s back lawn in Montpelier.
