Located at 500 Miller Road in Clinton, Camp Centaur offers a specialized camp experience for children with cancer. Cancer is a devastating diagnosis for anyone, but is especially difficult for children. The expense of treatment and travel to treatment can sometimes put a huge strain on the family’s finances as well. In consideration of this, the cost of the camp is $30 for these special kids and also $30 for siblings of kids with cancer. Donations are needed to bridge the gap between the charge to the camper and the actual $250 cost of the camp. Camp Centaur is a registered 501(c)(3).

Did you wear your helmet today?
Supporters of Courtney King-Dye have created an Ebay page to raise awareness of the dangers of riding without a helmet. Courtney was a top dressage rider and member of the 2008 US Olympic Team. She was seriously injured recently when her horse stumbled, throwing her and knocking her unconscious.
The site was created with some great merchandise donated by friends and supporters as well as Courtney’s Corporate sponsors. T-Shirts, awareness bracelets, boots and helmets are a few of the items that are offered. Log on and help the cause and this young rider……and wear your helmet!
