2008 Project and Donations
The Braintree and Bocking Carnival Committee are committed to the following primary objectives:
1) To provide entertainment for the town.
2) Raise money for a general fund to be distributed to local charitable and good causes.
Each year the committee attempts to adopt a primary project to raise money for. If you would like to nominate a cause, simply complete the Request Form . Although the project receives the majority of the funds, the committee also consider requests for smaller donations. There are no set rules concerning these donations. Each request will be given due consideration by the committee based on its own merits. The Request Form may also be used to request a donation from the Carnival funds.
