The Gala of Hope is our largest fundraising event of the year. Through the generosity of corporate sponsors, local businesses and long-time supporters we have been able to contribute over $1,000,000 to Camp Circle O' Friends over the past 34 years. This money, together with the money raised from other organizations, has been used to pay operational expenses for the camp to purchase special needs equipment such as wheel chair ramps or supplies for medical aid rooms.
This summer, Camp Circle O' Friends marked its 34th year of operation, thanks to the support of our club and sponsors like you! Each year, about 80 children, plus camp counselors and medical staff attend the camp.
