WAV supporters
WAV is a volunteer-run, decentralized, free festival that highlights and celebrates outdoor learning and time spent outdoors towards health and wellness, pro-environmental actions, and experiences that stick with us!
WAV is not an expensive project. Our in-kind support far exceeds our dollar support. Since its inception in 2015, WAV has annually reduced financial cost while continuing to improve WAV aims. In 2018, the WAV festival ran for less than $500.00 and had around 3000 participate. This page exists to give A BIG thanks to WAV Supporters- thank you!
