Location: Brothers of Ale, Huacas, Costa Rica
Date: Saturday, May 17, 2025
Time: 12 PM – 4 PM
🌟 A Celebration of Family, Fun, and Community Impact
Carnival for a Cause is more than just a carnival—it’s a grassroots celebration that brings families together while raising critical funds for over a dozen local community organizations in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
In its first year, this volunteer-driven event exceeded all expectations, welcoming 600+ attendees, and helping 12 community causes raise awareness, build stronger networks, and fund their programs. This year, we’re making it even bigger and better—with new games, a custom-built dunk tank, better prizes for the kids, and vibrant decorations to bring the carnival to life.

🤝 Your Donation Makes It Possible
Your gift directly supports the infrastructure needed to bring Carnival for a Cause to life:
🎯 Carnival games and booths
🎁 Prizes for children
🎈 Event decorations
And the best part? Because this is a fully volunteer-powered event, once our basic costs are covered, 100% of the remaining proceeds go directly to the participating NGOs. Every dollar you give maximizes the impact for organizations working hard to improve our communities.
🧡 More Than a Fundraiser
Carnival for a Cause creates more than just financial support; it forges connections. After last year’s event, organizations reported new collaborations, joint projects, and community initiatives that were born directly out of the relationships built during the Carnival. It’s a beautiful reminder that when we come together for a common goal, we build a stronger, more connected community.
