We are now famous!

Thanks to connections from Misty and the Convey Ink/Media team, our Fun in the Sun Summer Camp News Release was blasted out to 150 media outlets last Monday. As a result of that - and my efforts online here with DurhamMyNC.com - Josh Green from NC17 TV station came out and took some footage of our camp and our first week in progress. He spent over an hour with us and was genuinely interested, spending time talking with the children, the staff and everyone on how they like camp so far and what our mission is here.

It is a great snapshot of what we do on a daily basis, so far...as we grow bigger we will have more structured classes and not as much free time to talk to someone like him...but we really enjoyed it and are proud to be featured on DurhamMyNC.com now after being on the news last Thursday night.

Here is our Media page on Star-Foundation.org - this will show you our News Release, the NC17 link, and other media we have so far for Star Foundation and the Summer Camp.

We are glad our message is getting out there, and I am meeting people everyday that want to help us with the camp...so I am feeling tired but very blessed. We need to find those who want to help us with funding, and we are getting closer every day. This last week was free for the kids to come and try out the camp, and now starting Monday, it is only $100 a week including breakfast, lunch and a snack daily, M-F 8-5 pm, for the next 9 weeks.

We also will have monthly fundraisers for the community to come and participate in and benefit from - our next one is next weekend, June 27th 1-5 pm, and I think it will be a great event, with vendors, food, live music and 103.9 FM also coming out to broadcast for a couple of hours. We will have athletes from Duke and Shaw signing autographs and a demo from a state trooper. Come out and see what we are all about next Saturday if you are in the Raleigh/Durham area - we would love to have you bring your family and friends and help support us in our efforts.
