PUMPKINS PAINTED FOR A CAUSE: Justice Initiative fundraiser nets over $23,000 at Magens Bay

The V.I. Justice Initiative held its signature Harvest Festival and Pumpkin Patch fundraiser on Saturday at Magens Bay, St. Thomas, raising over $23,000 for the nonprofit organisation.

Participants, including eight-year-old Chase Herbert, were invited to gut, carve and paint pumpkins as part of the event. Herbert was photographed applying blue paint to his pumpkin while wearing a T-shirt suited to the autumn occasion.
