A decade-long partnership has enabled 30,000 of America's most vulnerable military children to attend summer camps for building.
According to Camp Corral, which provides, support and enrichment opportunities for the children of this nation's wounded, ill, and fallen service members, Disabled American Veterans has contributed $600,000 to support programs and initiatives for America's most vulnerable military children.
"DAV and Camp Corral are dedicated to two complementary missions, supporting veterans from all generations and empowering the children of those forever changed in service, which has paved the way for a strong and effective partnership over the last decade," said Lori Noonan, chief operating officer at Camp Corral.
The gift marks the continuation of a 10-year partnership between the organizations, which has enabled more than 30,000 children over the past decade to participate in Camp Corral summer programs at no cost to their families.
The organizations' most recent collaboration happened at DAV's National Convention in Tampa. That’s where earlier this month Camp Corral premiered a new video, funded by additional support from DAV.
Called "15 Things Military Children Want You To Know," the next installment of the PsychArmor Institute series helps bridge the gap between military and non-military Americans.
"Sending these kids to a camp that is unique to their experiences is a special way to recognize the sacrifices made by service members and their families and dramatically improve the quality of their lives,” said Marc Burgess, CEO of DAV.
