another successful auction
We are thrilled to announce that this year's annual dinner and auction event brought in just over $100,000 in support of the children and youth of Camp Ten trees. The generosity and effort of a multitude of people --auction guests, volunteers, and donors -- make an auction possible. In fact, it's much like a summer camp in that regard. Individuals come together, each contributing something special. Collectively, those contributions make magic happen. Thank you to the entire Camp Ten Trees family for making this year's auction, the one that ushers us into our tenth year of summer camp, the most successful to date.
Save the date to join us for the next auction: Saturday, April 23rd, 2011
