My personal message:
You probably already know I am a member of the Young Men's Business League and I am a volunteer with the Austin Sunshine Camps. Each year YMBL members provide over 700 at risk children a free week of overnight summer camp at our Zilker Park and Lake Travis facilities. In addition we operate the Sunshine Leadership Program and the Sunshine Scholarships Program. All of our programs are completely free to the participants.

As a volunteer I help pick the kids up on the first day and take them to camp, clean and do general maintenance of the camps before the summer starts and take the kids canoeing on the lake. Most importantly what I do is help raise the funds to make all this possible and that is where you can help.

I am asking for your financial support of this great cause. You know I wouldn't ask unless this was really important to me. Please give as much as you can. Any amount helps, but to give you an idea of how much of a difference you can make, it only costs $200 to send a kid to camp for an entire week this summer.

Please take a moment and make a donation through this website. If you would like more information about YMBL or the Austin Sunshine Camps please contact me, or visit www.sunshinecamps.org. All donations are tax deductible. Thank you!
