Get Ready for this year's Woodstock Gives Back - September 10, 2023

On Sunday, September 10, 2023, each and every business in our district will have the opportunity to pair up with a charity or non-profit and create an activity in support of that charity that makes sense for their business. Whether it’s a restaurant that collects food for the food bank, a pet store that accepts donations from their self-serve dog wash to give to the feral cat society, or a hair salon that cuts off ponytails to have wigs made for cancer patients, each business will be able to actively participate in a way that makes most sense for their type of business. Attendees will be able to choose to support their favorite charities and businesses and also explore unfamiliar businesses by participating in activities that simply appeal to them.
