Carve for a Cause

Our 20th Annual Pumpkin Carving Festival!

WITH YOUR SUPPORT

Sowing seeds of love and gratitude for YOU… our Carve for a Cause friends and family. For 20 years we have considered ourselves to be “weavers” for the greater good of our local communities, and that will continue this year.

Carve would love your help in supporting these 2 critical programs/projects in 2026:

New Paltz Rescue Squad – $23,000 to help modernize and restore the NPRS Education Center located on North Putt Corners, where all staff training and staff meetings convene.

Evergreen Meadow Services – $30,000 to launch a new pilot EverGreen Empowerment Program specifically for middle school aged girls. The program will address a critical mental health gap in Ulster County beginning in the M. Clifford Miller Middle School in Kingston.

We thank you for allowing us to “Celebrate the Harvest and Share the Bounty.”

With Gratitude,
Marianne Murray
