A Weekend of Camping, Community & Giving Back
Family Fall Fest brought the Halo's Wish community together at Normandy Farms for a weekend built around a simple purpose: helping families step away from life's challenges and spend meaningful time together.
Family Fall Fest brought campers, volunteers, supporters and friends together for a community breakfast at Normandy Farms.
For one September weekend, campers, volunteers, donors, local businesses and friends of Halo's Wish came together to have some fun — and to help make future family wishes possible.
The 2026 Family Fall Fest included an ice cream social, raffles, entertainment and a community breakfast provided by New England RV Roof. More importantly, it gave supporters a chance to gather around the mission that has guided Halo's Wish for more than a decade: Helping Families Be Families Again.
What the Community Made Possible
Fundraising totals are more than numbers on a page. Every dollar helps Halo's Wish prepare for the next opportunity to give a family time together that is focused on each other rather than the challenges they face.
A Community That Shows Up
The weekend was designed to be simple: spend time together, enjoy the campground, meet some new people and support a cause that matters. From the ice cream social and raffle tables to entertainment and breakfast, each piece of the weekend was possible because people volunteered their time, donated items and chose to participate.
The Family Behind the Wish
We are disappointed to share that we did not have a child to support through a Halo's Wish at this year's Family Fall Fest. The families we contacted were either recent recipients of Make-A-Wish grants or were not in a position to accept an award at this time.
Our search does not stop here. We will continue working to identify a new candidate for a Halo's Wish and will update this section when a child and family are selected.
Our mission remains the same: Helping Families Be Families Again.
It Takes a Community
Halo's Wish is powered by people who decide to help — sometimes with a donation, sometimes with a raffle prize, sometimes by serving breakfast, volunteering for an hour or simply showing up and supporting the event.
Our Volunteers & Supporters
Thank you to the volunteers, board members, campers, donors and friends who helped organize the weekend, donated raffle items, purchased tickets and supported Halo's Wish throughout Fall Fest.
Community Partners
A special thank you to Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort, our multi-year host of Family Fall Fest, for welcoming Halo's Wish and our community year after year. We also thank multi-year sponsor New England RV Roof for providing breakfast and supporting the weekend, along with individuals who contributed raffle items, services and other support.
Help Create the Next Family Memory
Fall Fest ends after a weekend. The mission does not. The money raised and relationships built help Halo's Wish continue preparing for the next family we can serve.
