Good morning!

Camp UPeninsulin is hosting a "Dine to Donate" event on February 5, from 3-8pm, at the Marquette Texas Roadhouse. All YOU need to do to help out is bring a copy of this FB post, show this on your phone, or mention this if you order takeout. You get a good meal and WE get 10% of the proceeds :)

Remember... Camp UPeninsulin does these events because we want to keep it super affordable (and in some cases, free) for our campers. We can't do that without extensive fundraising and writing grants, which is why we aim to have a large community presence. We area also trying to make fundraising a bit more passive because we know that everyone has SUPER busy lives. So please help us out and enjoy a meal with your family and/or friends! :)
