Colonial Beach Foundation

A 501(c)3 - Charitable Organization in town, the Colonial Beach Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and beautification of our beautiful riverside resort area.

Founded in 2005 and chaired by Peter Fahrney, the group has many important projects in progress, such as trying to implement seeking state and national designations for an historic district. The town was founded way back in 1867, after all.

They are also currently working in conjunction with the local Rescue Squad on the Hug-a-Bear Project, which seeks donations to provide color-coordinated teddy bears to the Rescue Squad, Police, Fire, Ministers, Funeral Homes and Social Services. The bears are for distribution to children who are dealing with tragedy, emergency or other needs.

The group successfully helped to secure scholarships for 21 local students so that they would be able to attend 4H Camp last year.

One of the fundraisers to raise money for the organization is the "Party on the Potomac" benefit on Town Hill held in the summer time which features bands, food and fun activities. That event also benefits groups like Project Colonial Beach.
