John’s Pass Seafood Festival offers charity fundraising opportunities and exposure. Have you ever wanted to be crowned King or Queen but haven’t had the opportunity? Let all of your dreams come true while raising money for your favorite charity this October. Applications for King and Queen are now being accepted. Votes will be collected based on funds raised. The male and female with the highest amount raised will split all incoming funds raised by all participants (including $100 entry fee per candidate) to be written the form of a check and presented to the charity of their choice. The crowning will immediately follow Sunday’s World Largest Bloody Mary Toast benefitting American Heart Association.
This year’s Charity Zone will be located at the bell tower on the south end of the village. Free half day booth space will be given to 12 qualified charity applicants. For information on participation or as a King or Queen nominee visit http://johnspassseafoodfest.com/.
