Colonial Beach FoundationA 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 comfort children who are dealing with tragedy, emergency or other needs. The group also 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. If you'd like to help this group continue their fine work, contact them at PO Box 375, Colonial Beach, VA 22443, e-mail cbvafoundation@aol.com or visit their website at www.colonialbeachfoundation.org
