Wandering for Our Community
Boar’s Head Resort is partnering with University of Virginia to support the Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign, an annual giving program to support nonprofit and charitable organizations that provide critical services to our community. Money raised through this year’s Winter Wander sales will directly and equally support these fine charities: Blue Ridge Area Foodbank, Charlottesville Free Clinic, Habitat for Humanity, Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Virginia and the Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA.
Please consider adding a donation during the ticketing process to support these worthy organizations.
