Fundraisers

WYWL has two flagship fundraisers each year: CraftWestport and the Minute Man Race. Profits from fundraisers are distributed to charities in lower Fairfield county through our Grants program. We also offer individual levels of sponsorship for CraftWestport and the Minute Man Race, as well as a package sponsorship for both fundraisers.

There is also a Kids Fun Run, with Kids Zone, held on the baseball field and basketball court at the beach. 2021 will be our 44th annual race, held on Saturday, April 30! It’s fun for the whole family and a great way to welcome Spring.
