CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Clarksville-based Camp Rainbow will conduct its biggest fundraiser of the year February 16-17 during the Beaver 100.3 Camp Rainbow Radiothon.
The two day event includes on-air appeals, interviews with children, counselors, and organizers of Camp Rainbow as well as sponsors such as Bikers Who Care. Listeners are 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.
“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.”
A number of country stars are scheduled to either appear in person or call-in during the campaign. This list include Corey Farlow, Tracy Lawrence, Phil Vassar, Lo Cash, Bucky Covington, Hadley Park and Rudy Gatlin.
A Dream Maker sponsorship is just $20 per month for one year or a one-time cost of $240. To give text ‘CAMP’ to 77000 or call on the Metro PCS phone line at (931) 648-7721. One-time donations in any amount are also accepted.
Last year the radiothon raised more than $77,000. For more information visit Camp Rainbow website or visit their Facebook page.
