2006 Stats

In 2006 the Sunshine Fund did the following:
  • Placed 569 children in 26 different camps
  • of those 569 children 245 or 43.06% were new to the Sunshine Fund
  • paid out $173,000.00 in camperhips
Let's see if we can't top those numbers in the 2007 season!

Sunshine Fund gets a blog.

This is the new home of the Manitoba Camping Association/Winnipeg Free Press Sunshine Fund Blog.

The Sunshine Fund enables Manitoba children who do not have the financial means through parents, guardians or agencies, an opportunity to attend an accredited Manitoba summer camp.

The Sunshine Fund is administered by the Manitoba Camping Association with publicity sponsorship from the Winnipeg Free Press. 100% of donations are used directly for payment of camp fees.

Since 1979 over 3 million dollars has been raised to provide over 14,000 summer camp experiences.
