Donations & Sponsorship (DHCS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization)

In the time since the inaugural event, the DHCS has acquired the Driftwood Community Center and we are now focused on making improvements to the community center as a place for residents and visitors to come together for family, social, and professional gatherings as a vibrant hub of Driftwood.

When you register here, you can add a donation to the Driftwood Community Center Building Fund.

This year we also have an event sponsorship program to highlight your business at the festival and on our website and social media. Your sponsorship will not only help create a wonderful event celebrating all things Driftwood. It will specifically support immediate improvements to the community center with the addition of a fire door, much-needed roof repairs to the garage, upgrade the water and septic systems, and overall revitalization to enhance the capacity and appeal of the community center as a meeting place for our Driftwood neighbors.

Our goal between now and April is $50,000 towards the building fund. We hope that you will join us at a level that aligns with your passion for Driftwood and the mission of the DHCS. Email festival@driftoodhcs.org for more information.
