Each year CAMP Rehoboth clears over $100,000 from the Sundance auction and dance. These funds are a vital part of CAMP Rehoboth’s annual operating budget. Since CAMP Rehoboth has not been able to do other fundraisers this year, Sundance dollars are more important than ever.

With your help as a Sundance host, supporter, or sponsor, we can raise that much again, even with a virtual format. Sign up at camprehoboth.com.

Already, 125+ individuals have pledged to support Sundance XXXIII: United in Love. That’s over one quarter to the goal and it’s only been only three weeks since news of virtual Sundance was announced.

Hosts, supporters and sponsors have been the heart and soul of Sundance from the start. In 1988, a dozen hosts underwrote the costs of a pool/anniversary party and raised money for AIDS research. And in the spirit of that original Sundance, CAMP Rehoboth can both fulfill its mission and help others in the community this unprecedented year. Sign up at camprehoboth.com. ▼
