Cobb YMCA campers help send other kids to camp

Aug 9, 2012

Campers at the Northwest Family YMCA in Kennesaw are collecting change this week for donation to the Northwest Family Y Kids to Camp campaign.

Y kids have challenged the Rotary Club of North Cobb to match any change they collect. The campers and Rotary members will combine the money on Friday for a presentation to the Family camp.

The presentation begins at noon at the Northwest Family YMCA, 1700 Dennis Kemp Lane in Marietta.

This year 122 out of 425 campers received a total of about $10,000 in financial assistance at the Family YMCA summer camp.
