As we approach the end of the year and reflect on 2019, we want to say thank you for your ongoing support of Camp Fire. Your gifts of money, time, and insight make an immeasurable difference in young people’s lives.

Can you help us raise $10,000 before the end of the year so that we can increase scholarships, provide extra supports for a diverse group of youth, and ensure an inclusive environment for all? 

 

 

We know there are a lot of worthy youth organizations raising funds right now, so here are a few reasons you can give when people ask you Why Camp Fire?
