Wednesday, May 9 Former Campers' family to host fundraiser for Camp Koala!
We are so proud to announce that a 2011 camper and her family are hosting a run/walk event, and donating the proceeds to Camp Koala! That is really paying it forward! We feel especially honored that Olivia's family has chosen us as the recipient. Thank you for this honor, we are deeply humbled. Please read on to hear from the family:
We have chosen Camp Koala as the benefactor of this year's race. Sophie's sister, Olivia, attended Camp Koala and felt the special connection to other children there.
In November 2011 we would have celebrated Sophie’s sixth birthday. Instead because of a tragic accident, we honored her memory with a 6K run/walk. A year later, we continue to remember and celebrate the time we had with her, as we host the 2nd annual Sophie's Six.
It has been over three years since she passed away, but sometimes the memories of her are so clear that you feel like she’s in the room. You can hear her pounding across the room with heavy feet or imagine her playing babies with her sister Livi. We cherish these memories and recognize that our lives have been so much sweeter having been touched by her.

Please visit the above link for information about the race/walk on Saturday, Nov 17 at Wilson College. The walk/fun run is only one mile, and is great for kids; the run is six miles, great for runners!
Let's show Olivia's family that we appreciate being recognized for the great work our volunteers and staff are doing. Thank you Lori Frey and Martin Family and to all of our volunteers and families!!
