It’s KOOL To Send A Kid To Camp Ta-Kum-Ta!
GRAND TOTAL:
Over $233,000—enough to send EVERY kid to Camp Ta-Kum-Ta in 2025!
WOW—What a week!! … We finished our 26th annual Camp Ta-Kum-Ta-thon with a record-setting $233,000+ … THANK YOU!
It was great seeing and hearing from so many of you this past week, calling-in your donations, or dropping them off in-person at our studios. Individuals from all across the region—and around the United States—making donations ranging from $10 to $10,000 … plus, bigger grassroots fundraising events like the Powder Puff Football game and the Old Derelict Car Shows, to basketball and softball tournaments, Christmas tree and wreath sales, and more! 100% of the money collected this week goes directly back into the year-long programs supporting children in Vermont and New York who have, or have had, cancer.
Thanks to our guests today: campers Morgan and her mom Peggy-Sue, Alex and his dad Chris, and Sawyer and their father Allen. We had a great time chatting with the whole group today as they shared their experiences as both kids and family members being served by Camp Ta-Kum-Ta’s year-long programs. From the ropes course, to arts & crafts, and cabin pranks, the kids all have a great time thanks to the donations collected during our week-long broadcast. And every parent says the same thing: camp is a critical part of their child’s treatment, providing challenging, extraordinary experiences, and memories and friendships that last a lifetime.
Thanks to everyone who joined us this week: campers, families, doctors, Camp staff and volunteers, and YOU TOO—it truly takes a village, and we couldn’t have done it without all of you!
There’s still time to make a donation before the end of the year—click HERE for details! … Plus, be sure to check out some of the photos we’ve collected from Camp … and, if you missed any of this week’s broadcast, we also have a collection of interviews from this week’s event you can access HERE!
Thanks again—and Happy Holidays from everyone at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta and KOOL 105!
For over 40 years, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta has been a camp for children from Vermont and New York who have, or have had cancer. There is never a charge to the family of the child, instead all camp expenses (about $2,500 per child) are covered by donations from the public. Some of these expenses include essentials to any camp like food and shelter and activities, but because Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is special, also include chemotherapy, a fully-equipped on-site medical facility, and handicap accessibility to everything possible.
Join us this week at 105.1 FM in Vermont and New York, and online at wkol.com, as we talk with the Campers, the Staff, and the Volunteers who make Camp Ta-Kum-Ta such a special place!
