Introducing:
Camp Gives a CLASS a World of Good!
Next summer, ACA will begin an initiative to follow an entire classroom of at-risk
kids through several summers of camp. Starting in 2008, a carefully selected
school and teacher will participate in this initiative. The chosen classroom's
students will be given camperships to attend a camp for several consecutive summers.
During that time, as well as throughout the year, the student campers, camp director,
parents, and teacher will describe their experiences at camp through a specially
designed blog on ACA's Web site. If you're interested in participating
in this one-of-a-kind project or have ideas to share, please contact Gillian
Frazier by e-mail gfrazier@ACAcamps.org or
phone (765) 349-8456, ext. 508.

If They Call . . . Will You Answer?

national annual fund efforts. If

Donating Made Easy!
Did you know there are ways to support
ACA by doing every day things such as
online shopping and using a search engine?
These methods are simple, easy ways to
contribute to ACA!
Through iGive.com® (www.igive.com),
each time a purchase is made at one of
the 629 participating stores online, a
percentage of the total is donated to ACA. In
order to use this program, users have to
complete a simple registration and designate
ACA as their cause. After the registration
is complete, each time users wish to make
an online purchase, they log on to iGive.com
and enter the store's Web site through
an iGive.com link, the participating stores
will make a donation—anywhere from
.04%-24% of the purchase price! Additionally,
the donations made on the behalf of the
user are a tax deduction for the user!
How about earning money for ACA simply by
searching the Internet? ACA is also a registered
cause for GoodSearch (www.goodsearch.com) powered
by Yahoo! ® By simply designating ACA
as the user's charity, the organization
will receive a penny for every search made.
There is no registration for users or limit
to the donation size, as long as the program
is used sincerely.
