RAFFLE: One person will win $10,000 in cash, and 24 others will also win cash prizes! Raffle tickets will soon be on sale for $20 each. They are available at the firehouse, through Beacon Hose members, at Gabe’s Automotive, and online by clicking here.
DONATIONS: We are always thrilled with the turnout at our carnival, but we also seek sponsorships and donations to offset the substantial costs of hosting the event.

BENEFICIARIES: During the carnival, Beacon Hose raises thousands of dollars — all of which is put back into the community with fire prevention programs, youth sports teams, local youth organizations, community events, scholarships for Beacon Falls students, holiday programs, aid for less fortunate families, perks for our volunteers, and even some wish-list emergency equipment.
