Hello Everyone!

The countdown is on for the Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay for the kids: just 1 week away! For those of you interested, or those of you who haven't pledged yet, there is still time to donate to this excellent cause.  Kick start your summer by helping us send deserving kids to camp! Easter Seals Camps give BC children with disabilities the chance to discover their individual abilities. Camp sessions are carefully planned and designed to encourage these children to gain new skills, develop new friendships, gain confidence and independence; skills that will help them to live lasting and fulfilling lives. On average, over 800 children with disabilities from all over BC attend a one-week camping session at one of three Easter Seals camps located across the province: Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, Squamish near Vancouver, and Winfield in the Okanagan. It is because of fundraising events like the Money Mart Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay For The Kids that the BC Lions Society is able to operate the camping program at no cost to the families, many of whom are already financially burdened by the costs associated with raising children with special needs.  On June 20th-21st, Team Travis will be at Swann Guard stadium running for 24 hours, and you can help us by donating online at www.24hourrelay.com.  Select Team Travis and my name: Alaina Overton.  Your help is tremendously appreciated!!! 

Have an excellent summer,

Alaina
