Yearend Giving
Are you still thinking about where to do your yearend giving? Well, you should consider us! Camp Evergreen is a registered, not-for-profit organization.
2009 has been a great year at Evergreen -- we had 646 adorable, hilarious and totally rad campers this summer (interestingly, the exact same number we had in 2008). Our spring and fall were booked solidly with guest groups -- fun, friendly guest groups no less! We had great seasonal staff, and a sweet crew that's staying through the winter. We are looking forward to our first official foray into winter outdoor education with a guest group in early January. We received some fantastic gifts, including a van full of flour, new aluminum canoes, a scanner, snowshoes and a new gator.
The one sad spot? General donations! Donations have come in below what we budgetted for consistently this year. Can you help us change that, in these last two weeks of 2009?
We know that it has been a hard year for a lot of folks, with recession woes -- we saw it with the increased demand for Campership Aid in 2009. We praise God that we didn't have to say "no" to any of the applicants who requested help with their camp fees. Our Campership Aid program helped out 70 kids in 2009 - that's 24 more campers than in 2008. Not only that, we distributed $14,335 in Campership Aid in 2009 - almost twice as much as the $7,480 that we distributed in 2008. [Camp Evergreen's Campership Aid program is generously funded by your donations and by funding from the United Way of Central Alberta.]
So, if you're thinking about yearend giving ... we'd love to hear from you! You'll receive a very grateful thank-you note and a charitable donation receipt (and our undying appreciation!).
To donate, you can mail a cheque to Camp Evergreen, Box 492, Sundre, Alberta, T0M 1X0 or you can call the office for Visa or MasterCard transactions at 403-638-4230. We'll be open December 14-18 and December 28-31 from 8:30AM - 5PM.
