Fundraising
We are partnering with polar engraving to sell engraved bricks for this memorial walkway. 4 x 8 bricks will be
$100.00 ($115.00 if you would like a replica mini brick) and can be purchased through the polar engraving camp
website http://www.polarengraving.com/ShadyOaksCamp. 100% of profits will go to support SOC!
By purchasing a brick, you will not only be immortalizing your occasion or
loved one, but also be providing much needed funds to SOC. Bricks may
also be customized to include your business logo or other graphic image
from a catalog of clip art.
Help us celebrate the 70th anniversary of
Shady Oaks Camp and
reach our goal of raising $375,000!
You can donate through plumfund
(see the link below) a fundraising website.
No amount is too small and
every donation is tax deductible.
Every cent counts so please share the news with
all your friends and family.
Many thanks!!!!
