WHAT IS #GIVINGTUESDAY?
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. This year, #GivingTuesday falls on November 29th.
HOW IS CAMP CHALLENGE PARTICIPATING?
For #GivingTuesday, Camp Challenge is raising the rest of the funds necessary to replace our dining hall folding chairs and tables. Our current stock of tables and chairs were second hand to begin with, gratefully received from some of our partner churches. However, to accommodate our growing enrollment, we use even the worst of these bent, rusted, footless chairs and stained, cracked tables simply to make sure everyone has a seat at meal time. We would like to purchase 152 new chairs (about $25 each) and 19 new tables (about $100 each), at a total cost of around $6,000.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Until November 29, you can make a donation of any amount (select #GivingTuesday). As gifts are made, we will fill in the chairs and tables in our “Dining Hall.” Watch our progress on Facebook, Instagram, or gocampchallenge.com. Please help us provide more seats at the table to feed our campers, not only physically, but spiritually, during their time at Camp Challenge!
2017 dates and rates are now available! Registration for 2017 sessions opens January 1st. Make sure you and your first-time friends are registered by 3/31/17 to qualify for our earlybird discount and referral credits!
