Recently, Tom McBride, one of our Zamily Family, held a fundraiser to benefit Camp Southern Ground. Sadly, before the event, Tom's father passed away. However, as Tom says, we know his spirit was "alive and well and all around the party". A lot of work went into this amazing event which included music, activities, a 50/50 raffle, delicious food, and more.
The fundraiser was a great success - and raised $2556.00 for CSG!
Tom has shared with us the link to the CSG Party Blog Page which includes photos and videos of the party:

We LOVE this poem from the party flyer:
A POEM OF HOPE
TAKE AN OLD MASON JAR
TAKE AN OLD MASON JAR
START FILLIN IT WITH LOOT
BRING IT TO THE PARTY
DUMP IT IN THE BOOT
THE BOOTS WILL BE SENT
FROM HERE DOWN TO THERE
SOTHE KIDS IN GEORGIA
WILL KNOW THAT WE CARE
ABOUT WHO THEY ARE
AND WHO THEY WILL BE
IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE
NOW DO YOU SEE
THE KIDS THAT SEEM LOST
CAN FINALLY BE FOUND
WHEN THE ZAMILY HELPS OUT
FOR CAMP SOUTHERN GROUND
"change for change"
The CSG team thanks Tom and EVERYONE involved with this amazing event -- We are truly grateful for your generosity and support of this amazing facility for kids!
This is so awesome, I have an 11 yr old son with Autism, ADHD, sensory intergration disorder , and tourets . We have been fortunate to get him in Equestrian , dance , karate and many other forms of therapy , many we have done at home on our own . He now is a happy , well adjusted 11 yr old that is on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout. These programs are so important for these children, it can truly change lives .
