Tee Off Against Child Abuse

The 22nd Annual Tee Off Against Child Abuse is right around the corner, but there is still time to register your foursome for the August 16th charity golf classic held at Field Club of Omaha.  Sponsored by the Exchange Club of Omaha, proceeds from the TOACA benefit local nonprofit organizations that are committed to preventing child abuse.

With more than 250 wine lovers in attendance, the inaugural Pinot, Pigs & Poets event raised $25,000 to help feed Camp Fire kids every day of the week.  Held at Happy Hollow Club, guests enjoyed a Hog Heaven-inspired cuisine created by eight local chefs while sampling 35 exquisite Pinot Noirs and listening to three nationally acclaimed slam poets. 

Camp Fire would like to thank event chairs Jack & Terri McDonnell, Jody & Gayle Carstens, and Cindy & Brian Leiferman for their countless hours in championing Pinot, Pigs & Poets to benefit our kids. 

Save the date for June 10, 2011 at Happy Hollow Club for new delectable dishes and mouth-watering Pinot Noirs.

Garage Sale a Success

A heartfelt thank you to the many volunteers and donors that made Camp Fire’s first ever Community Garage Sale a raving success.  In just three short days, shoppers helped Camp Fire raise nearly $3,000 to support programs that focus on academics, youth development, food and family.  After the sale, Camp Fire families were able to shop for free and collected everything from housewares to children’s clothing to furniture!
