Sunshine Fund Goal to Send 1000 Children to Camp in 2008
The Sunshine Fund will embark on an increased Marketing & Recruitment effort with the hopes of sending 1000 children to an Accredited Manitoba summer camp in 2008.
Eligibility requirements will still be based on Total Gross Family Income Levels in relation to Family Size. Family applicants in previous years were required to make a Parent Contribution of approximately 25% of the support amount provided by the Sunshine Fund in relation to the camp fee.
With a new funding model in place, Parents will be able to Send Their Child to a Camp of Their Choice for as Little as $25*.
More Information regarding the Funding/Parent Contribution Model & 2008 Application Forms will be available for distribution and download on the MCA web-site next week.
