Enjoy a night at the ballpark while helping local children attend Y camp by joining the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties on Friday, July 26, at 7:05 p.m. to see Camden Riversharks verses Somerset Patriots. Tickets are $10.
Game highlights include a performance in the seventh inning stretch by YMCA Broadway Bound Players and the “first pitch” thrown by Tim Kerrihard, president and CEO of the YMCA of Burlington and Camden counties.
“A positive camp experience can help children learn, grow and thrive,” said Dana Collins, Executive Director of Child Care and Camp. “Our ‘Send Kids to Y Camp’ campaign is about giving all children in Burlington and Camden counties the opportunity to attend summer day camp. The campaign will provide over $75,000 in camp scholarships to families in need.”
Additional subsidies of nearly $200,000 will be provided this year for camps with special populations. This funding will benefit Camp No Worries (camps for children living with cancer and their siblings), and Camp Connections (children with special needs).
To purchase Riversharks tickets or to make an online donation to support Send Kids to Y Camp, visit www.ymca-bc.org, stop by the Mt. Laurel YMCA or Burlington-Riverfront YMCA.
