WCSU Carnival Benefits

Wounded Warrior Project

DANBURY — Western Connecticut State University will hold its second annual carnival to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday, September 29, on the lawn of the Science Building on the university’s midtown campus, 181 White Street.

Admission will be $10 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. The carnival will feature a live band, a meet-and-greet with veterans, carnival games, inflatables, a volleyball competition, and an all-you-can-eat barbecue.

WCSU students will be admitted free with valid school ID. All proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit national effort to aid injured and ill service members by providing programs and services tailored to their ever-evolving needs in addition to raising public awareness and enlisting community support.

Maribeth Griffin, WCSU director of residential programs and staff, oversaw the organizing of the event.

“The carnival is a significant event for Danbury because it brings home the idea that even if you may not know someone personally who has served, these people are still out there and in need of our support,” she said.
