TPPC Supports Sending Kids to Camp
Going to camp is a privilege some kids get to enjoy every week of the summer and others never enjoy it once. The obstacles in the way of equitable camp access are money, navigating the camp registration process, and transportation.
Over $1100 has been raised by Send Takoma Kids to Basketball Camp led by Thomas Radman; this demonstrates the power of presenting camps as a unified group to negotiate discounts.
This $1100 has accomplished
6 weeks of one of the most prestigious basketball camps in the area ( http://www.spdbasketball.com ),
5 weeks of HoopEd (https://hoopeducation.com ),
3 weeks of KOA Flag Football Camp ( https://koasports.org/summer-camps-bethesda/ ), and
1 week of Sandy Spring ( https://www.summeratsandyspring.org/ ).
The need for camp is great, so if you would like to help please donate here:

Note: Takoma Presbyterian Church is the fiscal sponsor of this fundraiser to ensure 100% of your donation goes to these camps and leagues.
If you or someone you know needs financial or logistical help figuring out a good camp please email me at radman.thomas@gmail.com.

We would also like to allocate funds to help pay for summer and fall basketball leagues and continue to collect funds to prepare for next summer.
Also, email radman.thomas@gmail.com to sign up for our free weekend basketball clinic. We are interested in forming the first-ever pay-what-you-want Takoma AAU Team.
