GIVING TREE FUNDRAISER - KICK OFF AT SPRING CAMPS

GIVING TREE ANNUAL FUNDRAISER - KICK OFF AT SPRING CAMPS:

Each summer the Greater LaGrange YMCA hosts 10 weeks of summer camp. About 30% of the kids in the program come from homes that cannot afford to pay for summer day care. These are not kids from the inner city; these are kids from right here in our community! The Prairie Trail Federation is again sponsoring our annual Giving Tree program to raise money for this very worthwhile cause. This is a great Civic Activity for your tribe and it will really make a lasting impact on our community.
