When a community gathers together to honor the service of others, the unexpected happens: Joy.  Wellesley's Wonderful Weekend gathers our town in a manner unlike any other.  A Veterans parade, picnic, concert, games, fireworks, open houses, walks in the woods, art in the park and more....events and gatherings that honor and celebrate service.  When you fund these events you fund a 55 year-old-tradition of community, of a weekend to remember, a weekend to hope.  More than 90 percent of the weekend is funded by voluntary donations from individuals, business and civic organizations who invest in each other by investing in the weekend.  The investment centers on the weekend and is measured on these pages but it is an investment that happens year-round.
