Area Residents Help Raise Funds at ACA New England Camp Champions Celebration
Area residents at Lexington-based American Camp Association, New England’s 3rd Annual Camp Champions Celebration, which took place at Fenway Park last month. Residents attended this annual event to raise funds to send at-risk youth to summer camps. This year’s celebration honored Watertown native, actress, and camp activist, Eliza Dushku, for her extraordinary work developing a program for girls at Camp Hale, a program of the United South End Settlements, where girls and young woman can experience first-hand how life-changing camp can be. Eliza attended the event with her long-time boyfriend and former Celtics player, Rick Fox. This year’s fundraising will give a record number of underserved children the opportunity to attend ACA Accredited day and overnight camps in all six New England states through the campership program in the summer of 2014.
