Water Canteens for OTSC

PLEASE HELP OUR KIDS HAVE A MEMORABLE SUMMER!

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Off the Street Club - specifically for their summer camp, Camp Mathieu. My brother and sister - Jeff and Caitlin Immel - are both Board Members and have introduced us to Off the Street Club, it’s organizers, members and mission.

We were recently at Camp Mathieu, and asked its organizers what the kids needed most this summer. Water canteens! Therefore, we’re raising money to buy 1,000 water canteens for the campers to use during their camp stay - anywhere from a week to the whole summer.

And any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

When temperatures rise in Chicago, so do violent crimes. That’s why Off The Street Club is sending out a huge S.O.S.—Save Our Summer. And we need your help!  The fresh air and activities at our Camp Mathieu, on 30 beautiful wooded acres just 30 miles from Chicago, makes the quintessential summer camp a reality for our kids. With your help, kids can trade a summer of dodging violence, drugs and gang activity with all the positive summer camp activities that help shape a young adult. 

Our goal is to provide a safe and memorable summer for 1000 deserving boy and girls. 

So far 433 kids out of 1000 are going to Camp Mathieu this summer.
