The Vermont Burlesque Festival has donated $1,726 to the University of Vermont Cancer Center following its Granite City Showcase event at the Barre Opera House.
The funds were raised during a single show as part of VTBF2026, with contributions coming from attendees, performers, sponsors and supporters.
How The Funds Will Be Split
The donation has been divided equally, with $863 directed toward breast cancer research at the University of Vermont and $863 allocated to patient support funds.
The patient support funds are designed to help individuals and families currently undergoing breast cancer treatment with everyday expenses including rent, groceries, utility bills, transportation and medical costs.
A Single Show Effort
The full amount was raised during one performance at the Granite City Showcase, rather than across multiple events or a sustained fundraising campaign.
The Vermont Burlesque Festival framed the result as an example of how arts and community events can contribute to charitable causes alongside their primary entertainment purpose.
The organisation thanked the Vermont community for its ongoing support of the festival and its associated charitable efforts.
