Sweet Charities Band & Brew Fest benefits the Cancer Patient Fund, administered by Hanover Hospital. Sweet Charities is a non-profit organization formed to support many different Hanover-area non-profit groups in need of funding. We operate as a foundation does, reserving the right to select the organizations to whom we contribute. Requests for donations from other nonprofits are kept on file, but are not always chosen to be recipients. Our primary focus is to distribute monies to assist our area citizens. We have been granted 501-c3 status by the IRS and all donations to us are tax deductible.
