Do you want something to lift your spirits? Well we have good news! Every month we have received phone calls from someone NEW that has never held a fundraiser or donated to BASE Camp!

January - it was the Abram and Ray Kaplan Foundation with a pledge to donate $20,000 (received in February)

March - it was Rinald's Air Conditioning! They had a Community Day, raising $1,800 and donating an air conditioner and installation valued at $5,000!

March - Denny's Restaurant has adopted our Milestone Party Program for the ENTIRE YEAR! Milestone Parties are provided ON DEMAND, averaging 2 parties a week. Value of this donation = $34,725.56

March - Little Smiles foundation donated $2,500 to sponsor our BASE Camp Overnight Program! (ok...so they're not NEW;)...but it's still GREAT NEWS!!!

April - Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences adopted BASE Camp with a commitment to sponsor one BASE Camp Hospital Lunch a month!

Valued at $358.72 each month, this total for the year = $4,304.64

April - Turner Construction is hosting a 3 day Silent Auction April 15th, 16th and 17th, with a VIP Reception April 13th. Please mark your calendar to attend!

So BASE Camp has LOTS of good news and plenty to be excited about! Just thought we would share all of this GOOD NEWS with you!

We are planning our first BASE Camp Fundraiser a CELEBRITY WAITERS LUNCHEON! If you would like to be a Celebrity Waiter or to nominate a Celebrity Waiter, call me ...the plans are in motion and you don't want to miss out!

Thank you so much!

Happy Easter!
