    WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REVENUES FROM THE FESTIVAL?  -- The Seafood Festival is a not-for-profit corporation.  Revenues benefit a wide variety of charities and civic organizations.  It is one of the things that make the festival so unique.  This is a largely volunteer driven event.  Groups like Pompano Beach High School, the Boy Scouts, Blanche Ely High School, Pompano Proud and civic groups like the Greater Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce, Wahoo Bay, Women in Financial Services, Kiwanis, Rotary, Soroptimist, and others supply volunteers and benefit from the profits.  Over the years hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for all these groups.
