Local Nonprofits to Choose From
As COVID-19 has affected local businesses and individuals, it has vastly impacted the ability of area nonprofits and charities to do good works in our community. In order to donate a reasonable amount to each charity, the Heart of Virginia Festival Board of Directors has selected five local nonprofits to which you can choose to give the donation portion of your registration fee.
Fresh Boyz Club:
Established in 2008 at Prince Edward Public Schools, the Fresh Boyz Club provides its members opportunities to develop leadership skills, participate in service to others, achieve academic excellence, and practice personal integrity.
