By choosing an option below, you’ll help meet the goal of underwriting the entire cost of the Courier. Please contact Matt Bollwitt at 319-465-5916 ext. 2110 or send E-mail to matt@campcourageous.org for more information.

An acknowledgement about your gift can be sent to the individual(s) if you provide an address. Riley Train Depot Plaque Tom and Nan Riley donated a train to camp to thrill thousands of campers! The track and depot are installed and built. Many camp and/or train enthusiasts have asked, “How can we help?” We will continue to have workdays for landscaping around the track and depot. You can also contribute to cover the ongoing operational costs as well as future expansion of the train. The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on the plaque in the depot for all $1,000 donors. Use the donation form on the back page of this newsletter. For more information about the plaques you can contact Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him an e-mail at charlie@campcourageous.org.

Please visit the camp’s web site at www.campcourageous.org for more information on how you can donate your car, RV, or other vehicle and compliance with IRS regulations.

Future Lake Project A recent 30-acre land acquisition will allow for a future lake at Camp Courageous.

For more information contact Charlie Becker at 319-465-5916, ext. 2100 or e-mail charlie @campcourageous.org. eBay Auctions Do you sell on eBay? You can donate a percentage of your auctions to the camp through eBay’s Mission Fish program. 10% to 100% of your auction can go to Camp Courageous automatically. It’s a great way to promote your auctions since visitors will see (through a special icon) that part of their payment goes to a great charity. To participate, simply use the charity option as you list your items on eBay. For additional details and information you can visit eBay and click on the “Giving Works” link on their home page.

The camp is amazed at the many ways that supporters have helped make the dream of Camp Courageous a reality. Below are just a few suggestions on how you can help. (Use the URL barcode to jump to the online page.) Camper Joel Ray of Greenfield, IA is pictured in the Sill Barn as he enjoys playing some percussion instruments. Joel has been attending Camp Courageous since 2007 and it was great to see him back again this summer. Pool Blocks The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block at a time. It is one of the more popular activities for the campers. You can help support this activity by buying a pool block for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of your gift to the camp. Use the donation form on the back page of this newsletter to purchase your pool block. For more information you can contact Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send E-mail to charlie@ campcourageous.org. United Way (Donor Option) Even though Camp Courageous is not a United Way agency, we strongly encourage those that give to the United Way to choose “Camp Courageous” using the Donor Option form (special category). Camp has been fortunate to have donors from New York to San Francisco give through the United Way Donor Option. Camper Eli Hansen of Iowa City shows off his “Great Dancer Award” that he received at the end of his week at Camp Courageous. Eli enjoyed all the activities with his group this summer. 39
