MAY 17th: 
A special day to help inner city children come to 
Camp Border Collie For Kids! Please offer your support! 

Every May, we hold a fantastic fundraiser in New Jersey to raise funds to bring 30 kids to camp. They come from Newark, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Harlem, living in very violent, distressed situations. The kids experience the healing of loving Border Collies, bonding with a rescue dog that they train and care for while at the Farm, all part of The Canine Assisted Learning Program. CLICK HERE to learn more and see the CBS documentary

We must raise $35,000 to sponsor the children. If you'd like to donate to help bring an inner city child to camp, please scroll to the bottom of this page

Or, help with our Silent Auction - a favorite of the event! We are looking for unique items to be donated to auction off!   In past years, people have donated jewelry, artwork, furniture, hand-made items, tickets to events,  vacations, food baskets, etc. If you know of any store owner or contact who might be willing to donate an item, pls contact Debbie Lind: deblind@verizon.net  and she can provide flyers on the event.

Or, if you happen to have high quality items never used, we would be happy to consider those, too. You just might have something in your home that you're not using that could be perfect for someone else!  Old jewelry, that gift you've never used, a ticket to a sporting event you can't use....  we provide a tax letter for your donation.

Your help would be invaluable in meeting our goal of $90,000!

The kids say thank you, in advance!

The cost, on average, is $1200 per child for a two-week stay.

Total cost for offering the Camp Program next summer including building projects 
and equipment purchases will be more than $90,000.

Your support can give these children the dream of their lifetime .....A summer in the country with "their" dog. 

HELP SEND A CHILD TO CAMP IN 2008

We have many children who want to come to Camp in 2008, so we need your kindness and caring to make that possible!! Your tax-deductible donation makes a big difference to an inner city child who would otherwise have no way to learn about the love of dogs, the safety of nature, the kindness of strangers and the caring created in the powerful experience of this camp. CAMP BORDER COLLIE FOR KIDS makes a difference! We hear it over and over again.. the children are impacted throughout the year, sharing their stories of the summer with the dogs. The schools tell us that the children have a renewed sense of learning. They consider the summer camp at Glen Highland Farm to be critical in keeping these at-risk children focused productively. We know we are making a difference and most importantly, we need your help to continue.

For a little over $5.00 a day, you can reach into the life of a child and transform their hearts and mind. The $1200 to sponsor a child for the whole summer session is an investment in a future adult who impacts all our lives. Please consider a full session sponsorship or become an ANGEL, helping with any amount you can. For $700, you can sponsor a child for a week. Or consider giving the gift of Camp in the name of someone else you care about who also cares about children.
