CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The annual Beaver 100.3 Camp Rainbow Radiothon kicked off Thursday and continues Friday. And this year, you can be part of the historic $1 million fundraising milestone!

Join the Beaver radio air personalities, particularly Chad and Monica, as they share heartwarming stories from campers, counselors and parents about how Camp Rainbow has touched their lives.

Camp Rainbow is a summer camp held every year at Land Between the Lakes’ Brandon Springs for children who otherwise couldn’t go to a camp because of their medical condition. Each year, between 40 and 45 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old attend, along with close to 100 volunteers.

Last year’s Radiothon raised over $70,000, and since 2009, the Radiothon has raised over $939,000 for Camp Rainbow. That means that if this year’s Radiothon meets its goal, the Radiothon will have raised over $1 million to help send these kids to camp!
