Community Renewal: Replenishing Stolen Funds

We are sad to report that even with heightened security this year, our Fireworks Stand in Gresham was broken into last night and almost $3000 worth of merchandise was stolen.

As a non profit, Shooting Star Adventures uses the funds raised at the stand to award camp scholarships and to subsidize the cost of camp for all families. It is our largest source of funding and the effects of this theft will be felt throughout all our programs this summer and beyond.

We strongly believe all kids deserve the ability to attend summer camp regardless of their families financial situation. In light of last nights actions we are disheartened to be unable to extend financial assistance to 10 deserving families which means 10 campers will miss out on the chance to gain confidence in the outdoors and within themselves.

How Can You Help
