It has always been our belief that having a festival of this size, with the amount of music lovers that will attend, is a perfect opportunity to raise awareness and support for our less fortunate.
Since our first festival, 15 years ago we have allowed no less than four organizations to set up at the fest to raise awareness and funds to help their cause. By 2019 we were hosting seven organizations in our “ Storyville Tent” to confront homelessness, drug abuse, mental health, feeding the hungry and more.
Our most passionate commitment has been to fight the worldwide menace that is cancer. Since 2007 we are proud to say that we have raised over a quarter of a million dollars with our “Stickey Finger Bike Run”. And in 2017 we started the “GSB-SB Hospital Cancer Fund”, where Great South Bay donates $1 from every ticket purchased.
We are all residents of one world!
We have all been impacted by setbacks in health or quality of life, either personally or from family or friends.
