Fundraisers

WYWL has two flagship fundraisers each year: CraftWestport and the Minute Man Race. Profits from fundraisers are distributed to charities in lower Fairfield county through our Grants program. We also offer individual levels of sponsorship for CraftWestport and the Minute Man Race, as well as a package sponsorship for both fundraisers.

The Minute Man Race is a USA Track & Field certified 10K & 5K Run, plus 5K Walk, that begins and ends at Compo Beach in Westport, CT. There is also a Kids Fun Run, with Kids Zone, held on the baseball field and basketball court at the beach. 2024 will be our 45th annual race, held on Sunday, April 28th! It’s fun for the whole family and a great way to welcome Spring.
