At the Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, August 15th, the Parks and Recreation Summer Camp Kids made a donation of $2,500 to the Sunshine Foundation. The Sunshine Foundation answers the dreams of children, ages three through eighteen, who have severe or profound physical/developmental/intellectual challenges or trauma from physical/sexual abuse, and whose families have limited income.
Core Creek Park Site Supervisor, Carol Garner, shared a project she led with her campers called, "A Little Kindness Matters". This project started as a treasure chest decorating craft at camp to which Carol gave the kids a penny and encouraged them to grow the penny. Through their own creativity, the children at the Core Creek Park camp site raised through picking up extra chores around the house or helping a neighbor.
In addition to the campers contributions, money was collected from the pool snack bar over the summer as well as from a community car wash at the Middletown Community Center.
The money donated to the Sunshine Foundation will make the dream of a local child to go to Disney Parks! Thank you to the summer camp kids for helping make a dream come true.
