Hi guys –
I’ve been in contact with Sara Wilson, a representative of The Fresh Air Fund, for the last two years. Summer time is approaching and it’s time to throw a little of your attention and some of your money in their direction.
Here’s a little excerpt from their website:
THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2008, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
Here’s a little video. Please watch it. It’s really quite moving.
If you’re ready to donate today, please click here.
I really wish that I lived in the northeast because this is exactly the kind of thing that I would love to do.
Thanks for reading guys. Wrecks will be back tomorrow morning.
