A Major Goal Reached Toward a Permanent Diabetic Camp Facility!

Thanks to the hard work and generosity of many supporters, A Call To Serve is excited to announce the completion of its first major fundraising goal for the Ronald James Georgian Diabetic Children’s Camp. Volunteers raised $75,000 to qualify for a matching grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation, meaning that we have the $150,000 available to construct the camp’s first building, the Education Center and Dining Hall.

Missouri Lions in particular really came through for the camp, which through the years has given hundreds of Georgia’s diabetic children and teenagers knowledge and hope for a longer, healthier and happier life. ACTS thanks everyone who played a part in this project, and the diabetic children we serve send their love and appreciation as well

While construction of the first camp building can now be under way, the 2009 camp will take place in a rented facility. To ensure that as many eligible children as possible can attend, we need your help with operating expenses. Because of medications and supplies, the cost each summer averages $500 per camper.

Please help us make sure that no diabetic child who wants to attend is denied this valuable educational opportunity. Even a small donation will go a long way toward preserving the lives of these Georgian children and offering them hope for a healthy and successful future.
