Family Donates Birthday Proceeds To Camp Barnes!

Camp Barnes

Resume: This past weekend Kurt and Mary Lawson celebrated their son Robbie’s third birthday in a non-traditional, yet very generous and giving way. The Lawson’s asked family and friends to donate money to Camp Barnes, instead of giving gifts to their child. The Lawson’s celebrated their son’s first and second birthdays in the same way! This unique way of celebrating has raised several hundred dollars for this non-profit organization. A generous donation, such as this one, allows Camp Barnes to stay in existence.

Every summer Camp Barnes sponsors a week long camp for children through out the summer, free of charge. Additionally, this past August Camp Barnes sponsored a week long camp for children from the Children’s Burn Center. This allows some children, who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to camp, experience the exciting outdoor adventures of camp life on the beautiful grounds of Camp Barnes.
