Dear Camp Family, 

What an amazing 49 hours it has been with #NinerNationGives! We’re still gathering the results, but as of now we have 54 donors, totaling $2,024 raised. Thank you for coming together and supporting our programs. This means we have unlocked Associate Provost, Asher Haines' #NinerNationGives challenge, resulting in an additional $500 donation!! It took a Nation to accomplish all that we did, and we have you to thank for that. 

Thank you again for your support and Niner spirit!

With Niner Pride,

Dear Camp Family, 

I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news with you all! Thanks to your incredible generosity and support in our previous crowdfunding initiatives, we’ve had the privilege of awarding scholarships to deserving students for the upcoming summer. Your contributions have truly transformed lives, and we are immensely grateful for your kindness and compassion. Your generosity has not only directly impacted these students but has also inspired others to join in our mission of giving back. As #NinerNationGives gains momentum, it’s heartening to witness the unity and compassion within our community. 

Are you ready for a challenge? Associate Provost, Asher Haines, has challenged us! With 50 gifts to any of the four scholarship funds for the School of Professional Studies, we can unlock his generous $500 donation to the Lifelong Learning Opportunity fund during #NinerNationGives. We need 22 more gifts of ANY amount in 22 hours. Take on this challenge with me today!

Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to our university and students. Together, we have the power to create lasting change and continue nurturing the next generation of Niners. 

Warm regards,

Dear Camp Family, 

As we reflect on the incredible impact of our recent campaign, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for donors like you who share our vision for equal educational opportunities for all children. Your generosity has played a pivotal role in making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. At Camps on Campus, we believe that every child, irrespective of their financial background, deserves a chance to thrive academically. Your support has helped us take significant strides towards this goal, and we're excited to share the progress we've made together.

To date, we've raised an impressive $4,752, providing 15 deserving children with the opportunity to enjoy a week's camp free of cost. Your contribution has also funded each of their meal plans for the week, ensuring that families can focus on learning and growth without the burden of meal costs. Your commitment to our cause has empowered us to create a positive and enriching environment for these children, where they can experience constructive learning, build essential mentor relationships, and enjoy the many benefits of being part of UNC Charlotte's vibrant community.

While our active campaign may have concluded, your ongoing support remains invaluable. We understand that commitments and priorities vary, and we genuinely appreciate any contribution, regardless of the timing. Our long-term goal is to establish an endowed fund that will sustain our mission for years to come, and with supporters like you by our side, we are confident in achieving this vision.

Once again, thank you for making a difference in the lives of these children. Your compassion and generosity are shaping a brighter future for our community, one child at a time. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress and hope to continue this journey together.

With heartfelt thanks,

Taylor Faulkner & Krystle Kunnathur

As we celebrate the 24th anniversary of Camps on Campus at UNC Charlotte, we're excited to introduce you to a special initiative that allows you to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young campers.

Our #GivingTuesday Meal Plan Challenge will run from 11/20-11/28

• Our goal is to have 24 donors, symbolizing our 24th year of camping
• Each donor's gift of $49 goes beyond a Meal Plan Fee—it's an investment in relieving the burden of meal costs

At UNC Charlotte’s Youth Programs, our mission extends beyond financial assistance for summer camp. We are dedicated to providing weekly meal plans for children who will be joining Camps on Campus. Your support will directly contribute to this mission, fostering an environment where every camper can thrive.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Together, we can ensure that every child at Camps on Campus receives the nourishment they need for a summer filled with growth, laughter, and new friendships.

Warm regards,

The Youth Programs Team

Wow! We are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as we announce the incredible success of our "Send a Child to Camp" campaign. Thanks to your unwavering support, we've not only met but exceeded our goal, raising an amazing $3,049!

This means that 10 deserving students-in-need will now have the opportunity to experience a week of camp, free of cost. Your generosity and commitment to making a positive impact have made this possible, and we can't thank you enough.

Every dollar contributed, every share, and every act of kindness has played a vital role in creating moments of joy and adventure for these young minds. Your belief in the power of community and the transformative impact of camp experiences has truly made a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being the driving force behind this success. Your support has not only changed lives but has also created lasting memories for those who needed it the most. Together, we've shown the incredible things that happen when a community comes together for a common cause. We are beyond grateful for each and every one of you.

Here's to the power of kindness, generosity, and making dreams come true! ✨
