Compeer Kids go Camping!
|
 The Doc Butler Family Foundation has generously provided funding to send 25 children from our Compeer for Kids program to YMCA Camps this summer. Compeer Kids will be able to attend camp to develop their spiritual, mental and physical well- being. Campers will experience a huge range of activities and outdoor experiences devoted to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities. We really appreciate the generosity the Butler Family has shown to Compeer! In following in the Butler's footsteps, Compeer board member Dawn Pezzimenti has also provided a donation to send Compeer Kids to YMCA Camp this summer -- THANK YOU DAWN!Find out ways you can help our Compeer Kids by clicking here. |
