How can you help Camp Courageous? The camp is amazed at the many ways that supporters have helped make the dream of Camp Courageous a reality. Many have contacted the camp asking how they or their group can help. Below are just a few suggestions on how you can help the camp: Make a Financial Gift You can make a financial gift to the camp using the form on the back page of this newsletter. Payment can be made with a personal check or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or Discover). In general, donations to the camp will be tax deductible to many. However, you will need to contact your tax advisor to determine the deductibility of your contributions. You can make your gift in memory of or in honor of an individual(s) or occasion. An acknowledgement about your gift can be sent to the individual(s) if you provide an address. Volunteering Nothing is more valuable and appreciated than your time. Help is needed from cutting grass to working with campers. Individuals, groups, and organizations are welcome. Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer Director, by e-mail at spoe@campcourageous.org or by phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2320 for information on how you or your group can volunteer at the camp. Vehicle Donations Do you have a car, truck, or RV that you’d like to donate to Camp Courageous? Are you donating your vehicle so it can be sold to allow the camp to benefit from its sale? 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. By having a lake at the camp, time and resources will be saved by not having to transport campers and staff to a lake 20 minutes away. You can help make this dream come true by contributing towards this project. A plaque will display the names or wording of choice for all $1,000 donors. Use the form on the back of this newsletter. For more information contact Charlie Becker at 319-465-5916, ext. 2100 or e-mail charlie @campcourageous.org. 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. 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 through this charity program. 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. Marginal Note: It’s not only the quiet people who don’t say much. Used Laser/Ink Cartridges & Phones Camp can redeem used laser printer toner cartridges, used ink-jet cartridges, and used cell phones for cash. Simply drop your items off at the camp or contact Matt Bollwitt by e-mail at matt@campcourageous.org or by phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2110. 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. 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.

To help make this possible, we would appreciate your consideration of sponsorship of the Courier.
