This GoFundMe is organized by Heather Martin and volunteers in support of the Stratford Festival Cricket Team. All funds raised are transferred directly to the team’s official bank account in the name of The Stratford Festival Cricket Team to support its activities. Funds are managed by volunteers and our Treasurer Kim Thompson. While the team and its volunteers are primarily Stratford Festival employees, the cricket team is independently funded, organized, and operated separately from the Stratford Festival itself.
