Rocky Mountain Camp 999′s Pencil Project for the Child Rescue Foundation
was a huge success again this year! Thank you to everyone who participated. We collect 13 backpacks filled with school supplies, as well as a lot of additional bulk supplies.
Joanne Kappel, Executive Director of Child
Rescue Foundation, picked up our supplies yesterday. She reported that an estimated 1,500 kids were in need this year. That is up from 900 last year. This makes our efforts worth while, even though when you hear that 1,500 kids are in need, our contribution seems so small. To this, Joanne says, “It took professionals to build the Titanic, but amateurs built the ark. When we all make a difference, no matter how big or small, our world becomes a
better place for our kids. You all are tremendous and we appreciate you!”
Joanne delivered our supplies to counselors who work directly with the kids that will receive our donations here in Denver. In creating an ongoing relationship with the Child Rescue Foundation we can continue to impact kids right here in Denver who are victims of domestic violence and homeless. Thanks, again for helping with this year’s Pencil Project!
