ERA JUSTIN REALTORS SEND YOUNGSTERS TO MDA 2012 SUMMER CAMP
Since 1955, MDA has built bridges and knocked down barriers for youngsters with neuromuscular diseases by providing an unforgettable week at MDA summer camp, largely in part this summer through the efforts of the ERA Justin Realty pictured teammates and guests Marina Cespedes, Gene Amsel, Cathy Vick, Cate Metzger, Ron Darby, Ilene Harpuder, Al Rottini, Carlie Metzger, Jen Darby Metzger, Sal Macri, and Glenn Elliot, all who were invited to attend the MDA VIP Summer Camp day to be with the kids.
Ron Darby said, “It has been the focus of our entire staff of agents to raise tax deductible donations to send as many children to MDA summer camp as possible and it comes together at the fun MDA Lock-up fundraiser event also held each year. We reach out to all of our friends, business firms and individuals we transact business with throughout the year to send in their donations large and small. They never let our kids down. Donations are pooled in an effort to send children to the tri-state MDA summer camp for a week. In the past we had focused on raising funds for MDA research, but we now focus to give these children an immediate positive experience. Due to the untiring efforts of our staff and those who donated, the MDA youngsters are enjoying a week in the country in a structured environment to fit their abilities.
ERA Justin Realty raised over $7,000.00 for this single event. Our ERA Justin Realty team of Realtors never stop until our summer goal for our MDA youngsters is met. We are now continuing to exceed our goal.”
Each year MDA supports nearly 90 summer camps across the country. Whether in Alaska or Hawaii, in California or New Jersey, at MDA camp barriers simply don’t exist. A child with a disability can just be a child among friends. MDA camp is a magical place offering a wide range of activities specially designed for young people who have limited mobility or use wheelchairs. MDA camp programs, although structured, are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere that gives campers an unmatched opportunity to develop lifelong friendships, share interests and build self-confidence. Activities range from outdoor sports such as swimming, boating, baseball and horseback riding to less physically demanding programs like arts and crafts and talent shows. Thousands of youngsters attend MDA camp each year at no cost to their families.
