#GIVINGTUESDAY 2017 — REST FOR BODY AND SOUL!

Written by maria on . Posted in News.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matt 11:28

 

WHAT IS #GIVINGTUESDAY?

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

HOW IS CAMP CHALLENGE PARTICIPATING?

For #GivingTuesday, Camp Challenge is raising the funds necessary to replace our mattress covers. Although our mattresses are cleaned and sanitized regularly, years of slumbering campers who are coated in ALL the trappings of outdoor summer fun eventually leave their mark in the form of rips, stains, and smells (yuck!). $30 provides a new waterproof, hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and bed-bug proof mattress cover that puts both campers’ bodies AND their parents’ minds at rest! We would like to purchase 70 new mattress covers at a total cost of around $2,100.

HOW CAN I HELP?

You can make a donation of any amount. As gifts are made, we will fill in the bunk beds in our Retreat Center. Watch our progress on Facebook, Instagram, or gocampchallenge.com. Friends and partners like you have already made Camp Challenge a place where campers and guests find rest for their souls in Jesus. Please help us minister to our campers and guests’ physical need for rest as well!
