Camping for a Cause 2018
Twice yearly, we will donate all proceeds from campsite rentals on a Friday night to one of our favorite local non-profit organizations.
Our May, 2018 event's proceeds go to the Transylvania Animal Alliance Group (TAAG). And the September event will benefit The Haven of Transylvania County.
Our first event in May 2010 raised several hundred dollars for The Haven, a homeless shelter under design and construction here in Transylvania County. The 2nd, in September 2010, helped us donate several hundred dollars to Friends for Life's Forever Farm, a sanctuary for senior and special-needs animals. Since then, we have donated to several other local non-profits, such as Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue, Brevard Little Theatre, and several others.
Together, we CAN make a difference.
