A 7th grader from Solon explained why she would give to Camp Courageous if she were given $100,000 to donate. She described how one year, on her birthday, she asked for money to donate to camp instead of presents. "I remember how happy I felt giving for my birthday. It was better than receiving. About 3 weeks after I donated the camp sent me a video of the kids using the things that were bought with the money that I donated. They had huge smiles on their faces and it made me feel so good inside!"

This young woman comes from a family with a tradition of giving. Her grandpa was a volunteer at Camp Courageous. She grew up seeing the value of giving to others. 

On Monday, April 6th Camp Courageous and Hu Hot in Coralville, IA will partner to hold a fundraiser for Camp Courageous. It will be an opportunity to enjoy the delicious Mongolian style grill while helping make sure nearly 7,000 individuals with special needs will continue to experience the unique, year round programming at Camp Courageous. Camp Courageous provides respite and recreation services for people of all ages who have special needs. The camp is run on donations. Camp has been in operation for over 40 years. Many campers look forward to coming to camp all year long.

Camp volunteers will be helping clear tables, answering questions, providing information, and assisting customers as needed. 10% of proceeds and 100% of grill tips between 5pm and 8pm on Monday, April 6th will go to the camp. The event will be held at Hu Hot in Coralville located at 917 25th Ave.

Join us for this fun event to make sure the impact of Camp Courageous continues to be felt by countless thousands of individuals, families, and care givers!
