In my quest to learn more sustainable regenerative ways to support free open source software and the fediverse together I found an example worth sharing. For the past 15 years, Bigstock Fundraiser has been on a mission of raising funds through philanthropic events, for local charitable and benevolent causes. A team of volunteers has created a festively fun experience to enjoy two days of music in the mountains as a fundraiser!

Hosted at Hoodoo Ski Area in Central Oregon. The fundraising benefits two local non profits; Oregon Adaptive Sports & Cascadia Wildlands. This success can be replicated around the world. Truly a fun way to help other people supporting great causes! It also creates a thriving ecosystem of jobs for the vendors & support staff. Small groups of people can do big things together. Band shown is Greensky Bluegrass.
