Hard to believe, but summer is just around the corner. For sisters, Gwenn Connolly and Karen Vetter that means finding the funds to send 30 kids from St. Elizabeth Seton kids to CYO Summer Camp. These kids have big dreams and talents — but few resources. Funds Needed: $300 per camper The total cost for camp is $850 per person for seven days. Each child’s family pays a portion and campership funds cover the remaining 65%. Your contribution, big or small, will make a difference. Donations are tax deductible.
