The event supports two good causes: Seventy-five percent of the proceeds will go to the Windham Area Interfaith Ministry (WAIM) General Fund, which helps hundreds of area families each year stay housed and keep the heat and lights on. Twenty-five percent will benefit the Storrs Congregational Church Minister’s Discretionary Fund, which responds to community members’ requests for emergency financial assistance.
