The Bazaar net proceeds will fund 2026 scholarships which are awarded to deserving Walton County horticulture college students every year as well as youths participating in Timpoochee 4H Youth Camp, E.O. Wilson Biophilia Naturalists Outdoor Program and Westonwood Ranch programs.

The Club will also choose a well-deserving Walton County family as their 2025 Habitat for Humanity holiday family. The family will receive monetary donations and gifts to help ensure a great holiday season for everyone. The gifts are delivered to the family in mid-December.
