Last September we had our first annual River Ride to benefit Cambridge Camping Association. It was a wonderful event that combined canoeing on the Charles River in Cambridge and an afternoon bbq party celebrating the 100 year old organization. The festivities began at Charles River Canoe, and finished on the riverfront grounds of the American Legion across the way. The fleet of canoes paddling along the Charles River enjoyed a mix of treasure hunting, searching for “gnomes” with prizes, admiring costumes and basking in a sunny fall day on the water. With 70 people donating and 100 people participating we raised over $13,000 for Cambridge Camping. We were able to successfully shine a spotlight on Cambridge Camping’s mission to provide at-risk, low-income, and underserved children with the opportunity of a summer camp experience in a safe and healthy setting. The engaging and enriching experiences offered at camp narrow the summer achievement gap between low income children and those who can afford a variety of summer options.
Please visit cambridgecamping.org to learn more.
We hope to raise even twice as much as last year and put double the amount of canoes in the water!
Please join Cambridge Camping & the host committee of Martha Wagner, John Gates, Melissa Frost, Susanna Jacobus, Amy Clarkson & Michael Callaghan in supporting this organization and making our next River Ride 2012 a huge success!
