Dear Friend of First Fridays:
Every first Friday (and third Fridays during the summer months) for almost 25 years, our downtown is vibrant and buzzing with art, music, and activity- a unique experience that brings the community together. These events showcase local talent, and encourage foot traffic to our local galleries, shops and restaurants. That is the magic of Fairfield First Fridays ArtWalk, and we need your help to keep the magic alive.
These monthly events and the planning that goes with them are solely funded from donations, grants and sponsorships. A sustaining gift will ensure that we have another full year of activities. We need your support to continue organizing and producing all the activities that are being held on the first Friday of every month, something we all look forward to. Your support is deeply appreciated.
We have a goal of getting 100 people to sign up for a $5-10 donation each month. Small amounts add up!!
It’s very easy to do:
Click the Donate Here! tab, click on our Paypal button, check the box for recurring donation and enter the amount you would like to donate each month. Or if you would prefer to make a one-time donation that is appreciated as well!
