My personal message:

Please join our team and help raise money for a worthy cause! 

Last year our team ranked second place!  In 2008 we want to shoot for #1!  To reach this goal, we need your help!  Only through your generosity and by spreading the word is this goal going to be possible.  

AIDS Arms, Inc. is the beneficiary of the 2008 Life Walk.  Their purpose is to assist individuals in accessing the healthcare, resources and support necessary to successfully manage the challenges of living with HIV/AIDS.

As an incentive to participate and as an expression of our gratitude for your past support, we are again going to schedule some great fundraising events at the ranch throughout the year.

As each year passes, we continue to grow in our personal and professional lives, and we make decisions that guide us in the directions our lives take.  Over the past three years the ranch has experienced a tremendous amount of growth.  Your part in this is not lost with us.  Our ranch family consists of many men and women, couples and singles, RV'rs and tenters, as well as permanent and weekend campers alike.  A few of our family members live with HIV / AIDS every day.  Be it through a partner, an extended family member, coworker, friend, customer, or even they themselves, they are forced to confront HIV / AIDS on a daily basis.  

In appreciation for our continuing growth, we want to further expand our efforts to give back to the communities who have given so much to us.  In the past years we have supported several nonprofits by donating free weekends for their silent auctions or to be used as give-a-ways / door prizes.  This is a practice we will continue for what we hope will be many years to come.  But we want to do more. 

We recognize that none of us are "made of money".  For some of us times may be very tight.  All of us, however, can spare a little to help our communities.

 HERE ARE A FEW INCENTIVES?

#1 For every $25 donated through this page http://www.firstgiving.com/rainbowranchcampground by one of our permanent campers, their name will be entered into a drawing for 1 month of free rent.   

#2 We believe in being fair to ALL of our campers so we have an incentive for our non-permanent campers as well.  For each $25 donated through this same page we will enter the donors name into a drawing to win a free weekend stay in one of our cabins!

 

#3 For anyone who chooses to join our team by creating their own page and successfully raises at least $100 or donates through our page http://www.firstgiving.com/rainbowranchcampground  at least $100, we will enter the donors name into a drawing to win a free weekend stay in the newest addition to the ranch's list of accommodations, the  large house rental.  This house can sleep up to 15 people and offers the perfect accommodations for groups of all sizes. 

Drawing will be in October, but don't wait! Make your donation now! 

 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. 

 

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! 

 

Best regards as always, 

Your friends the Campers at Rainbow Ranch Campground
