For more than three decades, participating charities based within the Oyster Bay-East Norwich school district have been serving up fresh seafood, ethnic culinary delights and traditional American fare to hundreds of thousands of festival goers. Profits from the Food Court sales remain with each individual non-profit organization that sells the food item to help fund their programming.
The Oyster Festival’s Oyster Booth Food Court sponsored by Newsday, and the Tom Reardon Memorial Food Court, sponsored by New York Community Bank, are the largest fundraisers that most of these charitable organizations participate in throughout the year. For some organizations, it’s their only fundraiser.
