Knights of Columbus Carmel Council Donates $2,000 to Camp Rising Sun

From The Knights of Columbus Carmel Council:

Tuesday, July 19, the Knights of Columbus Carmel Council 3605 Hamden presented a check for $2,000 to Camp Rising Sun. The donation represented the proceeds from their annual beer tasting event at the Columbus Lodge Hamden.

Camp Rising Sun welcomes any child, age 5-17, who has faced a diagnosis of cancer to a week of fun and friendship. Campers can be in treatment, in remission or anywhere in between. Camp is held in the beautiful hills of Colebrook, Conn. at the facilities of Camp Jewell, a YMCA campground. Campers stay in heated cabins with other children in their age group along with a dedicated staff. Thanks to our generous supporters, there is no cost to attend camp. Camp Rising Sun was founded in 1983.

The next beer tasting is Oct. 12 at the Columbus Lodge in Hamden.
