CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Beaver 100.3 FM Camp Rainbow Radiothon 2018 raised a grand total of $55,687 Feb. 22 and 23 to support the summer camp for children with serious illnesses.
The two day event, with presenting sponsor Toyota of Hopkinsville, included on-air appeals, interviews with children, counselors, and organizers of Camp Rainbow as well as sponsors such as Bikers Who Care. Listeners were encouraged to call in and become Dream Makers with their donation.
Camp Rainbow is a week-long summer camp held in June for children with special medical situations that keep them from attending other summer camps.
The event is free for attendees and provides activities, specially trained counselors, and medical support staff to allow the children to enjoy a fun-filled camp with all the necessary support.
All of the proceeds raised during the radiothon will support Camp Rainbow.
“The radiothon has been a blessing,” said Camp Rainbow’s Jeremy Miner. “It’s a week that they get to be normal. Nobody’s going to pick on them or make fun of them. Wigs come off and everybody just has fun.”
