The one sentence answer is.....We give it all away in the form of grants to youth-serving organizations in Lebanon and, to lesser extent, Warren County.
The Lebanon Blues Festival is the single largest fundraiser for the Lebanon Optimist Club. Our Optimist Club is a service organization (think of Rotary, Kiawanis, etc.) The thing that sets us apart from other clubs is our mission...we strive to serve as many youth in our community as possible by funding as many programs as possible.
Every dollar we raise with our festival is used to help children and teens here in Lebanon.
