Bethel's Annual SCOTTY Fund Picnic Set for September
Annual fundraiser to support local families dealing with critical illnesses.
The SCOTTY Fund Bethel Town Picnic will be held Saturday, Sept. 6, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Bethel Municipal Center front lawn.

The SCOTTY Fund is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing financial and family support to children with life threatening or critical illness in Bethel and the surrounding area.
The goal of the SCOTTY Fund is two-fold.
First, to help erase the financial burden associated with a critical illness. Grant money is given to children for medical expenses, transportation and other ancillary costs associated with the illness.
Secondly, to provide family support including nightly meals, child care, errands, and grocery shopping.
