Greetings to all! There is no doubt that 2006 was the most exciting year to date
of Camp Summit’s “A Peak at the Future” Capital Campaign! We have successfully
raised over half of our $4.5 million goal - to relocate camp to Sunset, TX in
2010. This success would not have been possible without the generous challenge
gift from the family of two former campers who pledged $500,000 when we raise
another $500,000 from individual donations by December 2006.
Supporters of Camp Summit rose to the challenge launching the ‘Meet the
Challenge’ Campaign - a grassroots volunteer effort comprised of over 700
volunteers and donors who heard our call to action and responded accordingly.
The incredible generosity of those who have answered the call for donations
warms our hearts and feeds our spirits as we forge ahead.
We are so appreciative of the $2.4 million raised to-date toward our $4.5
million goal allowing us to "open" the doors and operate our camp program at the
new site in Sunset, Texas. But our work is not over! We have a long way to go to
build and open our new campgrounds.
We are currently seeking another generous donor willing to match $1 million when
we raise another $1 million in donations. The success of the Campaign is
essential for the individuals we serve who may have no other camp they can
attend due to the level of care required by their specific challenges. Camp
Summit’s new camp location will give thousands of children and adults with
disabilities a place to continue to discover new strengths and gain friends for
life.
Keep us in mind: Capital Campaign support for Camp Summit will ensure campers
that they will have a safe and quality camp experience for many years to come.
Unlike requests for annual support or special event, this campaign provides our
donors with an opportunity to leave a permanent legacy in honor of the campers
we serve.
