Support the 50/50 Charity Event
Each year, Quabbin Quills brings the community together for our 50/50 Charity Event—a celebration of creativity, connection, and giving.
This year, we’re thrilled to partner with the Worcester County Poetry Association to support and uplift the literary arts across our region.
This is a collective fundraiser, meaning every contribution helps move us toward shared goals.
You can give any amount, big or small, and every donation enters you into our prize drawings.
As we reach certain community fundraising milestones, we unlock a series of unique, one-of-a-kind rewards—from creative performances to personalized artistic collaborations.
These rewards are not tied to individual donation amounts, but to what we achieve together.
All unlocked rewards will be shared through a private YouTube channel hosted on our website, so everyone can enjoy what we create as a community.
Our Fundraiser will take place between July 3 – July 17.
