Glizzy Fest ‘25: A Sizzlin’ Summer of Giving

1–2 minutes

Buchheit Foundation’s 2025 Summer Charity Event

Sunshine, snacks, and so many glizzies! Glizzy Fest ’25 brought the fun—and the impact—poolside this summer as we came together to raise money, collect donations, and celebrate the power of community.

From hot dog contests to raffle tables and pool floats to the iconic Wienermobile making an appearance, this event was one for the books. And thanks to everyone who came out, we made a real difference.
