Sponsors
The financial success of MusicFest is primarily due to our community sponsors. We are amazed at the generosity of the Big Bend business community. In the first two years, this event raised nearly $50,000 for Refuge House.
Because the work Refuge House does is essential and lifesaving, the community is eager to support their mission. MusicFest musicians donate their talents. Over a hundred volunteers contribute several thousand hours putting on the event.
Each year, the media provides wide coverage of MusicFest, resulting in expanded visibility for our sponsors. As word of the event spreads, attendance increases. In 2012, we expected 1500 guests.
Thank you to all our sponsors for making this a major fundraiser for Refuge House.
